12. Projects types
Research and Innovation Actions
Activities aimed to obtain new knowledge and/or improved technology,
product, process or decision. May include basic and applied research,
development and technology integration, testing and validation.
Duration: 3-5 years
Main participation criteria: at least three independent legal entities from
countries of EU or associated with HORIZON 2020. Participants from any other
countries (including Russia) can join actions as an additional consortium
partner.
The most common type of projects.

Innovation Actions
Activities aimed at creating schemes, planning or
designing a new, modified or improved product,
process or service. It may include the creation of
a prototype or demonstration model, tests, pilot
implementation, a large-scale validation of the
product and production for commercial purposes.
Duration: 2-3 years
Main participation criteria: at least three
independent legal entities from countries of EU
or associated with HORIZON 2020. Participants
