Standard eligibility conditions
The minimum number of participants is three. Consortia must be composed by at least three independent legal entities established in three different countries considered to be PRIMA Participating States, of which:
• At least one is established in a EU Member State (Croatia, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain)
• At least one is an established in a third country bordering the Mediterranean Sea: Algeria, Tunisia, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon.
• To Be Participating States: Egypt, Morocco.
Other Entities eligible for funding
- Any legal entity created under Union law. - Any international European interest organization, as defined in point (12) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1290/20134 .
- Any international organization or any legal entity established in countries not listed above if: • participation is deemed to be essential for carrying out the action; • such funding is provided under a bilateral scientific and technological agreement or
any other arrangement between the Union and the international organization or, for entities established in a country which is not a Participating State, the country in which the legal entity is established.
Participants from countries not listed above can be part of a consortium but: • they have to fund their own participation • they cannot coordinate the project and they are not taken into account in the
minimum number of participants required to have an eligible consortium .
Please note that: Morocco and Egypt are to become Participating States.
The procedures for the conclusion of their international agreements with the EU are in progress, legal entities established in Egypt and Morocco can participate in PRIMA projects under the following conditions:
Calls in Section 1 - They count towards the minimum number of participants in the consortium if the international agreement produces legal effects at the latest by the day of the submission deadline of the relevant call for proposals. - They are eligible for funding if the international agreement produces legal effects at the latest on the day the Grant Agreement (GA) is signed. If the international agreement does not produce legal effects on the day of signature of the GA, these entities are still eligible for participation, but without funding. In case that their participation is deemed to be essential for carrying out the action by the PRIMA Foundation funding may be granted. If the international agreement starts producing legal effects after the GA is signed, the GA may be amended to provide for redistribution of funding (and related tasks) among the entities in the consortium. Such amendment cannot, however, give rise to additional funding for the project.
