What is a National Contact Point (NCP)? NCP Businesses RTOs Academia UK Gov EU Commission Global R&I network UK NCP network: Team of sector specific public servants providing free support to UK participants to Horizon Europe International NCP network: support in Europe and the rest of the world NCP services vary in each country/sector, but typically include: Jo Frost UK Health NCP for industry Katie Dingley UK Health NCP for academia Informing, awareness raising – on Horizon Europe and other EU programmes Assisting, advising and training – to improve the quality of Horizon Europe proposals Signposting and cooperation – direct to relevant support and work with each other to support consortium development Anni Laihanen UK NCP for Cluster 2
What do ideal partners look like? • Expert in their area • Enthusiastic and committed • Responsive to coordinator’s requests, able to communicate well (think about languages too?) • Trustable
How to start building a consortium? • What expertise is needed for the project? (Read the call topic very carefully) • Which sectors and disciplines are needed? (Academia, Industry, stakeholders, patient groups…?) • Are there people you have worked with before or know with suitable expertise? Friends of friends? • What expertise is still needed? Where might you find good partners with this expertise? • How will people/organisations be involved? Partners? Advisory groups? To feed in/disseminate to? • Think about ‘European Added value’ • Good to have some partners/orgs. with EU/collaborative experience (Especially as coordinator?)
Formal consortium building mechanisms Participant portal – Every topic once published will have a ‘Partner Search’ function where you can upload your profile and review others that have done so Brokerage events – European Commission, Enterprise Europe Network, UK’s KTN, NCPs from around Europe, Technology Platforms etc will virtual hold events with e.g., Meeting Mojo, B2B and some have other tools like partner databases (for example EEN/EDGE, Innovative Medicines Initiative) Partner Search – under the How to participate tab on the EU funding and tenders portal where you can search for past projects and organisations CORDIS – a more useful way of finding past projects and participants and allows you to contact them Searching the formal consortium building mechanisms is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack – they all look like needles so finding the ones for you can be difficult

The best ways to form winning teams Being an effective networker is much more useful than submitting a profile into a portal and awaiting contacts. Don’t wait to be invited to the party, push yourself forward • Use your existing professional networks – if you don’t know who the sector leaders are in Europe then you should find out • Use Linked In to connect to people from possible consortium partners • Search CORDIS for previous, related projects and contact the participants. All projects must disseminate their results and often hold workshops, etc. • Join the relevant networks, associations and partnerships • Be an active member – say ‘hi’ when you join the virtual room. Ask questions, support others’ opinions, act as if you are already well known to all in the virtual room • Volunteer to draft working papers, take notes, send in useful information – be helpful • Speak up at workshops – demonstrate Thought Leadership • Show that you would be a valuable partner for collaborative projects and that without you they won’t win – you have the secret sauce that is necessary for their success
What constitutes a winning consortium? One that can deliver the expected outcomes within the stated scope and budget (and give the evaluators confidence that they can) There is no ‘typical’ or ‘model’ consortium structure/membership, it depends what is needed for the call topic. • Any type of organisation can be funded by Horison Europe. It is common to see universities, big business, small business, research and technologies organisations, local/national authorities, patient groups, charities, policy makers all within the one consortium. Useful to include exploitation partners – someone who is going to take the outputs of the project and actually implement them (e.g. in policy/industry/hospitals/patient care/civil society/cultural and creative sectors) to show immediate impact. Many Health cluster call topics mention involving patient groups too. Useful to include the end user community, possibly as an advisory board or associate partners (not direct beneficiaries but costs e.g. travel can be included in ‘other costs’), again to demonstrate their involvement in the design of your project so it suits their needs, and also to show a route to your project having impact.
Hints and Tips – Building a consortium Questions to think about: Who has the best expertise/reputation? Who should you approach to be part of a consortium? Not everyone has to have the same size role Don’t include partners because you think it will look good or to pad the proposal out - each partner should have a clear and defined purpose. Have a good balance of countries – more than ~30% if the budget going to one country might be of concern to the evaluators
The Project Types (in Clusters 1 & 2) 16 Research and innovation actions (RIA) • Activities aiming primarily to establish new knowledge or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution. • May include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing, demonstration and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment. Innovation actions (IA) • Activities directly aimed at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services • Possibly including prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication. Coordination and support actions (CSA) • Activities contributing to the objectives of the Horizon Europe Programme, excluding R&I activities (with some exceptions – see the General Annexes to the Work Programme) • Pre-commercial procurement actions (PCP) • Public procurement of innovative solutions actions (PPI) From the Work Programme 2021-2022 General Annexes
Eligibility and why collaboration is important Presented byAnni Laihanen Slides happily shared
Eligibility criteria There are several types of eligibility, and it does get confusing: • Eligibility to take part in a consortium/project • Eligibility to receive funding as part of a consortium/project • Eligibility to be one of the minimum number of participants necessary in a consortium/project
Eligibility criteria explained Stated in the General Annexes • Any legal entity, regardless of its place of establishment, including legal entities from non-associated third countries or international organisations (including international European research organisations) is eligible to participate (whether it is eligible for funding or not) although exceptions may apply in specific topics so check the text • To be eligible for European Commission funding, applicants must be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.: • Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions; • Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States • Eligible non-EU countries: • Countries associated to Horizon Europe • Low- and middle-income countries if country listed in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide • Legal entities which are established in countries not listed above will be eligible for funding if provided for in the specific call conditions, or if their participation is considered essential for implementing the action by the granting authority • Consortium Composition (RIAs and IAs): • At least one independent legal entity established in a Member State; and • At least two other independent legal entities, each established in different Member States or Associated Countries
Associated Countries • The UK has agreed to Associate to Horizon Europe – Association gives UK organisations access to funding under the programme on equivalent terms as organisations in EU countries • Countries that associated to Horizon 2020, and are expected to associate to Horizon Europe: • Albania • Armenia • BosniaandHerzegovina • FaroeIslands • Georgia • Iceland • Israel • Republic of North Macedonia • Republic of Moldova • Montenegro • Norway • Serbia • Countries considering association include Canada, Japan, Australia and others • Switzerland • Tunisia • Turkey • Ukraine
• Can organisations from Associated Countries coordinate proposals? – Yes • Can organisations from Associated Countries join Partnerships? – Yes • Do the national governments or funding bodies from Associated Countries have any role in pre-approving proposals for submission? – No • Do Associated Countries have representation on Programme Committees? – Yes European Commission has published Q&A on the UK’s participation in Horizon Europe “UK entities including universities, research centres, scientists, innovative businesses, industry, etc. will have full rights to participate in the first calls for proposals of Horizon Europe as soon as they are published” “In duly justified exceptional cases, restrictions may apply and these will be clearly specified in the calls for proposals” Frequently Asked Questions on UK’s Association
International Participation ‘International participation’ = by countries which are not EU Member States or Associated Countries Some topics may state international participation is essential Some topics state international collaboration is advised, e.g. “International cooperation with partners from countries in the EU’s neighbourhood is strongly encouraged” “International cooperation with partners from third countries of interest is encouraged in order to better achieve the expected outcomes” Most countries around the world have Horizon Europe National Contact Points – find their details here The Commission also funds the participation of legal entities from Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) if the country is listed in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide (This Programme Guide is not yet available, but should be soon) For higher income countries outside of Europe (which are not associated countries): • there are often national contact points who will be able to advise if any local funding is available to enable them to participate. Sometimes the local funding is available to allow their researchers to participate in all calls, sometimes just for specific call topics, and sometimes funding is not available locally. • for the previous programme, Horizon 2020 the European Commission has published some “country page” specific guidance (e.g. Brazil, India and China) with info and contacts. These documents are not yet available for Horizon Europe.
Why European collaboration is important • Another source of funding for research/innovative organisations • Higher funding rates & the only innovation funding for some sectors • Solve global grand challenges through collaborative R&I • Collaborate with world leading organisations to enhance UK/your capabilities • Access cutting edge technologies, infrastructure, talent & markets • Influence standards, regulations and research policies • Collaborating to drive the direction of travel together (e.g. policy) • Collaborative relationships frequently become transactional ones - exports • Creating EU/UK jobs, growth and best practice Increasing Importance International
Evaluation Criteria in Horizon Europe Presented by Katie Dingley Slides happily shared
Evaluation Criteria in Horizon Europe* Excellence Impact Implementation • Weighted equally for: • Research and Innovation Actions (RIAs) • Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs) • Impact weighted at 1.5 for Innovation Actions (IAs) • Scored 1-5 • Thresholds: • 3/5 for each criteria • 10/15 overall • Two-stage calls: Excellence and Impact only, threshold of 4 for first-stage * unless otherwise stated in the Work Programme Work Programme 2021-2022 General Annexes

Priority Order Work Programme 2021-2022 General Annexes For each group of proposals with the same score: 1. Address aspects of the call not covered by more highly-ranked proposals 2. Ranked by scores for Excellence, then Impact. *Innovation Actions: Ranked by Impact then Excellence. 3. Gender balance of personnel 4. Geographical diversity, defined as the number of Member States or Associated Countries represented in the proposal, not otherwise receiving funds from projects higher up the ranking list (and if equal in number, then by budget). 5. Other factors relating to objectives of the call
Open Science Work Programme 2021-2022 General Annexes An approach based on open cooperative work and systematic sharing of knowledge and tools as early and widely as possible, including active engagement of civil society • Important policy area for European Commission • May be incentivised or made mandatory: • Involvement of citizens • Use of European Open Science Cloud • Excellence: sharing and management of research outputs, community engagement • Implementation: previous Open Science practices
The gender dimension Eligibility: Gender Equality Plan (applicable from 2022 onwards) Participants that are public bodies, research organisations or higher education institutions established in a Member State or Associated Country must have a gender equality plan in place, fulfilling mandatory process-related requirements Award Criteria: Integration of the gender dimension Addressing the gender dimension in research and innovation content entails taking into account sex and gender in the whole research & innovation process Ranking Criteria (for tied scores): Gender balance Third criteria - Gender balance among personnel named in the proposal who will be primarily responsible for carrying out the research and/or innovation activities, and who are included in the researchers table in the proposal
Developing a proposal outline/1-2 pager Evaluation comments EIT Presented by Jo Frost Slides happily shared
Developing a proposal outline (1-2 pager) for RIA/IA 31 Research and Innovation plan (and Excellence criteria) • How will you address the call topic? • Objectives (beyond the state of the art) • Why should it be funded by the EU (‘European Added Value’) • Any interdisciplinary approaches? • Gender dimension & open science? • Sharing and management of research output • Engagement of citizens, civil society and end users? Impact/outcome • How will you address the outcome outlined in the work programme? • How will you disseminate? • How will you exploit your results? • What is your communication plan? Implementation • Consortium – who will do what? (No redundancies/overlaps or gaps) • Ensure that the consortium (and any advisory groups) that you are building has the necessary expertise • Cost/workload/budget plan
Hints and Tips – Proposal Outline 32 • Good to have a one-page proposal to help focus ideas and for consortium building • WHY the project is being carried out • WHAT is expected to be achieved…what is not expected to be achieved • Objectives • WHO is going to do the work • The consortium and the synergy and complementarity of the partners • HOW the project is going to achieve the above • Work plan and phases of work • Means and resources to be used
Example topic – Cluster 1 Boosting mental health in Europe in times of change (HORIZON-HLTH-2022-STAYHLTH-01-01-two-stage) “Research should be multidisciplinary, including medical sciences, social sciences, the humanities, and the arts, if relevant.“ “Proposals should involve end-users (including civil society organisations) and/or strategic partners in the design and during the course of the project. Possible end-users and strategic partners could include • local or regional authorities • community services • employers • schools/universities • cultural institutions • insurance companies • civil society organisations • Communities among others. Proposals should adopt a patient-centred approach that empowers patients, promotes a culture of dialogue and openness between health professionals, patients and their families, and unleashes the potential of social innovation.”
Example topics – Cluster 2
Evaluation Reports - Examples 35 Excellence • “The multidisciplinary team is very relevant to carry out the project” • “The consortium as a whole offers a very good complementarity, interdisciplinarity as well as cross-sectoral involvement. All of the necessary expertise is provided within the consortium, with core partners having top level expertise in their field” • “Feedback from cancer survivors is central to the design and evaluation approach through the involvement of cancer survivor associations” • “…the use of stakeholder knowledge is not clearly explained” • “Plans to directly involve patients, their relatives and patient associations in the co-design and evaluation are unclear.” (and that was necessary for the proposal topic that they were applying to)
36 Impact/outcome • “The consortium combines teams with relevant expertise with a balanced multidisciplinary profile and with a demonstrated capacity for collaborative work.” • “Communication activities are appropriately described by identifying the relevant target groups” • “A suitable communication plan to reach appropriate stakeholders is presented” • “Communication, dissemination and exploitation of results to local health professionals and researchers is well described” • “The training of young researchers and PhD students should ensure the project has ongoing impact into the future.” • “Dissemination is presented very generally and does not provide enough details that would link specific dissemination methods to specific project results and partners” • “Socioeconomic impacts are not sufficiently described” • “The process for dealing with the IP and commercialisation is not sufficiently detailed” Evaluation Reports - Examples
37 Implementation/Management • “The consortium is well balanced, including partners from academia, industry and hospitals, with relevant and highly complementary expertise.” • “Partners have been allocated tasks according to their expertise, and all of them have a valid role in the project.” • “The consortium has complementary research, clinical and technical skills that are appropriate to achieve the objectives.” • “The multidisciplinary team contains groups with complementary expertise in the study area, including …..” • “Important stakeholders to be involved in policy-making as a result of this research include cancer patient advocacy groups, government health ministries, health professionals and pharmaceuticals industry.” • “There is a majority representation of female leaders for the Work Packages (4 out of 7)” • “The consortium as a whole does not convincingly bring together the necessary expertise.” • “Allocation of tasks to individual participants is not clear due to very limited explanations of the work within work packages.” Evaluation Reports - Examples
European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICS) • The EIT brings together business, education and research bodies to create an environment conductive to innovation and entrepreneurship in Europe • It funds 8 long-term partnerships, KICs, each with a focus on a different societal challenges: New KICs for Culture and Creative Industries and Water, Marine and Maritime Sectors and Ecosystems are anticipated in 2022/3 and 2026 respectively • Calls for projects starting this year have already closed but calls for projects starting in 2022 are open or due to be open later this year and you can apply to become a partner at any time • Calls for proposals are primarily open for existing partners. However, non-partners can participate • You could look at the EIT KICs for potential partners for your Horizon Europe proposal Like more info?

Thank you Q&A Further Info Slides happily shared
Extra information covered in the Q&A & Chat (1) Q: Under Horizon Europe, which Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) will the European Commission fund organisations from? A: We don’t have the list of countries yet unfortunately for Horizon Europe, but once it is available, it will be in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide. Meanwhile, if you want, you can see the countries that the European Commission funded in the previous programme (Horizon 2020) on page 3 of this document. However, there may be some changes to the list for Horizon Europe, so please be sure to use the new list once it is available in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide. Q: Can organisations from high income countries which are not EU Member States/Associated Countries get funding from the European Commission? A: This is not normally possible unless it is provided for in the specific call conditions, or if their participation is considered essential for implementing the action by the granting authority. In either case please contact your NCP for personalised advice. Q: Can higher income countries outside of Europe (which are not associated countries) get funding from anywhere else? A: There are often national contact points in countries around the world who will be able to advise if any local funding is available to enable them to participate. Sometimes the local funding is available to allow their researchers to participate in all calls, sometimes just for specific call topics, and sometimes funding is not available locally. For the previous programme, Horizon 2020 the European Commission has published some “country page” specific guidance (e.g. Brazil, India and China) with info and contacts. Equivalent documents are not yet available for Horizon Europe. Please contact your NCP for personalised advice.
Extra information covered in the Q&A & Chat (2) Q: What is the latest about Swiss Participation? A: On 31 May the Swiss Health National Contact Points (based at www.euresearch.ch) sent us the following information: “This is to confirm that any researchers, organisations or companies based in Switzerland who want to participate in an Horizon Europe 2021 call (or other related programmes and initiatives) can do so without restrictions and submit as coming from an Associated Country. (This conforms to the transition clause in Annex B of the Horizon Europe Work Programme, according to which entities from all countries associated to Horizon 2020 are automatically considered as based in an AC and are thus eligible for funding under Horizon Europe during project submission.) You find on the official Swiss webpage the explanations, an extensive FAQ and explanations and with these the confirmation that any Swiss partner in a successful Horizon Europe proposal will be fully funded, either by the EC if the association of Switzerland goes through until the time of the signature of the GA, or by the Swiss Government, if the association agreement is not in force when the Grant Agreement is signed. Should a change in the status of participants from non-EU Member States (e.g. from beneficiary to ‘associated partner’) become necessary, it can be adapted until the final phase of the GA preparation or throughout the project. Please note that the decision of the Swiss Federal Council not to continue the discussions concerning the Institutional Framework Agreement with the EU does not affect the situation of Swiss participants described above.

  • 13.
    What do idealpartners look like? • Expert in their area • Enthusiastic and committed • Responsive to coordinator’s requests, able to communicate well (think about languages too?) • Trustable
  • 14.
    How to startbuilding a consortium? • What expertise is needed for the project? (Read the call topic very carefully) • Which sectors and disciplines are needed? (Academia, Industry, stakeholders, patient groups…?) • Are there people you have worked with before or know with suitable expertise? Friends of friends? • What expertise is still needed? Where might you find good partners with this expertise? • How will people/organisations be involved? Partners? Advisory groups? To feed in/disseminate to? • Think about ‘European Added value’ • Good to have some partners/orgs. with EU/collaborative experience (Especially as coordinator?)
  • 15.
    Formal consortium buildingmechanisms Participant portal – Every topic once published will have a ‘Partner Search’ function where you can upload your profile and review others that have done so Brokerage events – European Commission, Enterprise Europe Network, UK’s KTN, NCPs from around Europe, Technology Platforms etc will virtual hold events with e.g., Meeting Mojo, B2B and some have other tools like partner databases (for example EEN/EDGE, Innovative Medicines Initiative) Partner Search – under the How to participate tab on the EU funding and tenders portal where you can search for past projects and organisations CORDIS – a more useful way of finding past projects and participants and allows you to contact them Searching the formal consortium building mechanisms is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack – they all look like needles so finding the ones for you can be difficult

  • 22.
    The best waysto form winning teams Being an effective networker is much more useful than submitting a profile into a portal and awaiting contacts. Don’t wait to be invited to the party, push yourself forward • Use your existing professional networks – if you don’t know who the sector leaders are in Europe then you should find out • Use Linked In to connect to people from possible consortium partners • Search CORDIS for previous, related projects and contact the participants. All projects must disseminate their results and often hold workshops, etc. • Join the relevant networks, associations and partnerships • Be an active member – say ‘hi’ when you join the virtual room. Ask questions, support others’ opinions, act as if you are already well known to all in the virtual room • Volunteer to draft working papers, take notes, send in useful information – be helpful • Speak up at workshops – demonstrate Thought Leadership • Show that you would be a valuable partner for collaborative projects and that without you they won’t win – you have the secret sauce that is necessary for their success
  • 23.
    What constitutes awinning consortium? One that can deliver the expected outcomes within the stated scope and budget (and give the evaluators confidence that they can) There is no ‘typical’ or ‘model’ consortium structure/membership, it depends what is needed for the call topic. • Any type of organisation can be funded by Horison Europe. It is common to see universities, big business, small business, research and technologies organisations, local/national authorities, patient groups, charities, policy makers all within the one consortium. Useful to include exploitation partners – someone who is going to take the outputs of the project and actually implement them (e.g. in policy/industry/hospitals/patient care/civil society/cultural and creative sectors) to show immediate impact. Many Health cluster call topics mention involving patient groups too. Useful to include the end user community, possibly as an advisory board or associate partners (not direct beneficiaries but costs e.g. travel can be included in ‘other costs’), again to demonstrate their involvement in the design of your project so it suits their needs, and also to show a route to your project having impact.
  • 24.
    Hints and Tips– Building a consortium Questions to think about: Who has the best expertise/reputation? Who should you approach to be part of a consortium? Not everyone has to have the same size role Don’t include partners because you think it will look good or to pad the proposal out - each partner should have a clear and defined purpose. Have a good balance of countries – more than ~30% if the budget going to one country might be of concern to the evaluators
  • 25.
    The Project Types(in Clusters 1 & 2) 16 Research and innovation actions (RIA) • Activities aiming primarily to establish new knowledge or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution. • May include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing, demonstration and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment. Innovation actions (IA) • Activities directly aimed at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services • Possibly including prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication. Coordination and support actions (CSA) • Activities contributing to the objectives of the Horizon Europe Programme, excluding R&I activities (with some exceptions – see the General Annexes to the Work Programme) • Pre-commercial procurement actions (PCP) • Public procurement of innovative solutions actions (PPI) From the Work Programme 2021-2022 General Annexes
  • 26.
    Eligibility and whycollaboration is important Presented byAnni Laihanen Slides happily shared
  • 27.
    Eligibility criteria There areseveral types of eligibility, and it does get confusing: • Eligibility to take part in a consortium/project • Eligibility to receive funding as part of a consortium/project • Eligibility to be one of the minimum number of participants necessary in a consortium/project
  • 28.
    Eligibility criteria explained Statedin the General Annexes • Any legal entity, regardless of its place of establishment, including legal entities from non-associated third countries or international organisations (including international European research organisations) is eligible to participate (whether it is eligible for funding or not) although exceptions may apply in specific topics so check the text • To be eligible for European Commission funding, applicants must be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.: • Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions; • Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States • Eligible non-EU countries: • Countries associated to Horizon Europe • Low- and middle-income countries if country listed in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide • Legal entities which are established in countries not listed above will be eligible for funding if provided for in the specific call conditions, or if their participation is considered essential for implementing the action by the granting authority • Consortium Composition (RIAs and IAs): • At least one independent legal entity established in a Member State; and • At least two other independent legal entities, each established in different Member States or Associated Countries
  • 29.

    International Participation ‘International participation’= by countries which are not EU Member States or Associated Countries Some topics may state international participation is essential Some topics state international collaboration is advised, e.g. “International cooperation with partners from countries in the EU’s neighbourhood is strongly encouraged” “International cooperation with partners from third countries of interest is encouraged in order to better achieve the expected outcomes” Most countries around the world have Horizon Europe National Contact Points – find their details here The Commission also funds the participation of legal entities from Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) if the country is listed in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide (This Programme Guide is not yet available, but should be soon) For higher income countries outside of Europe (which are not associated countries): • there are often national contact points who will be able to advise if any local funding is available to enable them to participate. Sometimes the local funding is available to allow their researchers to participate in all calls, sometimes just for specific call topics, and sometimes funding is not available locally. • for the previous programme, Horizon 2020 the European Commission has published some “country page” specific guidance (e.g. Brazil, India and China) with info and contacts. These documents are not yet available for Horizon Europe.

    Hints and Tips– Proposal Outline 32 • Good to have a one-page proposal to help focus ideas and for consortium building • WHY the project is being carried out • WHAT is expected to be achieved…what is not expected to be achieved • Objectives • WHO is going to do the work • The consortium and the synergy and complementarity of the partners • HOW the project is going to achieve the above • Work plan and phases of work • Means and resources to be used
  • 42.
    Example topic –Cluster 1 Boosting mental health in Europe in times of change (HORIZON-HLTH-2022-STAYHLTH-01-01-two-stage) “Research should be multidisciplinary, including medical sciences, social sciences, the humanities, and the arts, if relevant.“ “Proposals should involve end-users (including civil society organisations) and/or strategic partners in the design and during the course of the project. Possible end-users and strategic partners could include • local or regional authorities • community services • employers • schools/universities • cultural institutions • insurance companies • civil society organisations • Communities among others. Proposals should adopt a patient-centred approach that empowers patients, promotes a culture of dialogue and openness between health professionals, patients and their families, and unleashes the potential of social innovation.”

    Extra information coveredin the Q&A & Chat (1) Q: Under Horizon Europe, which Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) will the European Commission fund organisations from? A: We don’t have the list of countries yet unfortunately for Horizon Europe, but once it is available, it will be in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide. Meanwhile, if you want, you can see the countries that the European Commission funded in the previous programme (Horizon 2020) on page 3 of this document. However, there may be some changes to the list for Horizon Europe, so please be sure to use the new list once it is available in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide. Q: Can organisations from high income countries which are not EU Member States/Associated Countries get funding from the European Commission? A: This is not normally possible unless it is provided for in the specific call conditions, or if their participation is considered essential for implementing the action by the granting authority. In either case please contact your NCP for personalised advice. Q: Can higher income countries outside of Europe (which are not associated countries) get funding from anywhere else? A: There are often national contact points in countries around the world who will be able to advise if any local funding is available to enable them to participate. Sometimes the local funding is available to allow their researchers to participate in all calls, sometimes just for specific call topics, and sometimes funding is not available locally. For the previous programme, Horizon 2020 the European Commission has published some “country page” specific guidance (e.g. Brazil, India and China) with info and contacts. Equivalent documents are not yet available for Horizon Europe. Please contact your NCP for personalised advice.

    Extra information coveredin the Q&A & Chat (2) Q: What is the latest about Swiss Participation? A: On 31 May the Swiss Health National Contact Points (based at www.euresearch.ch) sent us the following information: “This is to confirm that any researchers, organisations or companies based in Switzerland who want to participate in an Horizon Europe 2021 call (or other related programmes and initiatives) can do so without restrictions and submit as coming from an Associated Country. (This conforms to the transition clause in Annex B of the Horizon Europe Work Programme, according to which entities from all countries associated to Horizon 2020 are automatically considered as based in an AC and are thus eligible for funding under Horizon Europe during project submission.) You find on the official Swiss webpage the explanations, an extensive FAQ and explanations and with these the confirmation that any Swiss partner in a successful Horizon Europe proposal will be fully funded, either by the EC if the association of Switzerland goes through until the time of the signature of the GA, or by the Swiss Government, if the association agreement is not in force when the Grant Agreement is signed. Should a change in the status of participants from non-EU Member States (e.g. from beneficiary to ‘associated partner’) become necessary, it can be adapted until the final phase of the GA preparation or throughout the project. Please note that the decision of the Swiss Federal Council not to continue the discussions concerning the Institutional Framework Agreement with the EU does not affect the situation of Swiss participants described above. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to let us know or consult the official website“
