Various categories of projects are eligible: 

  • RIA, Research and Innovation Actions: Basic and applied research / Technology development and adoption / Testing and validation of a prototype in the laboratory ; 
  • IA, Innovation Actions: Prototypes, tests, demonstrations, pilot projects, market placement. These actions may include limited R&D activities ; 
  • CSA, Coordination and Support Actions: Networking, studies & conferences, communication, studies for new research infrastructures ; 
  • MSCA, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions / ERC individual grants: Training networks for researchers, Individual grants for experienced researchers, Staff exchange – mobility for researchers and non-scientific staff. 

 

In addition, calls specify the categories of eligible beneficiaries: 

  • Collaborative projects, composed of a coordinator and several partners organisations (consortium) ; 
  • Single-beneficiary projects, involving a single organization ; 
  • Individual scholarships, open to natural persons in their own name with their home institution.
