Eligibility of applicants and consortia

Whilst applications shall be submitted jointly by groups from several countries, each individual group will be funded by its respective NRFO. The applications are therefore subjected to eligibility criteria of individual funding organisations (please refer to the Call Announcement).

Since at most one project will be selected per topic, proposals are encouraged to make the best use of these budgets and in particular to involve partners for all funding organisations participating in the topic.

Consortia can include members who participated in a Pilot as well as members who did not. There can be more than one partner per funding organisation in a proposal. A given partner can participate in several proposals.

Research groups or private partners performing research who are not eligible to receive funding by any organisation participating in the call but who are willing to collaborate and contribute to the proposed project may be part of a consortium if they are able to secure their own funding.

The coordinator must be a partner funded by an organisation participating in the call.

Evaluation and selection

Eligible proposals are assessed by an independent international Scientific Evaluation Panel (SEP). If needed, based on the number of submitted proposals and their technical content, the evaluation can involve external reviewers.
