New infosheets: Ethics Appraisal Process and Ownership Contral Declaration

Ethics and security play an important role in applications for projects under Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and the EU Defence Fund.

Consortia submitting proposals are expected to self-reflect on ethics issues, followed by screenings and follow-ups by the European Commission.

For certain calls under the three programmes, participation can be restricted to legal entities established in and/or controlled by Member States or in specified eligible third countries for duly justified security reasons. In such cases, participants are requested to submit mandatory Ownership Control Declarations along with their application.

NCP Flanders has published two new infosheets to guide applicants through the ethics appraisal process and the requirements of the Ownership Control Declaration.
