On the "ownership control declaration"

Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes Digital, Industry & Space

Working on a proposal with submission deadline of 18 September, for

  • HORIZON-CL4-2024-DIGITAL-EMERGING-02-01 ("for Competitiveness fit for the Green deal") or
  • HORIZON-CL4-2024-HUMAN-03-01 ("human-centred and ethical development")

Then please note that the mandatory annex "ownership control declaration" has been added to the Portal Submission System. It is now possible to submit the annex next to Part B application.

Essence

We interpret this form that if you are company from Belgium (that is: headquartered in an OECD country, or more specific: established in an eligible country and controlled by entities in an eligible country), you only need to complete part 1 of the form, and part 2 (the guarantee part) can be skipped. 

Problems with the form

Update: The upload of the Ownership Control Declaration template in the submission system apparently didn’t work as planned, so now the EC is allowing proposers to submit the declarations some time after the proposal submission deadline upon the express request of the EC. Or as they communicated:

The ownership control declaration (annex to be uploaded) was missing in the Portal Submission System. Exceptionally, the Commission will allow the submission of this annex at a later stage - as needed and upon requestThe ownership control declaration annex must be filled in by project participants as part of the application. All declarations must be assembled by the coordinator and uploaded in a single file in the Portal Submission System.

The EC also confirmed that the assessment of the ownership control declaration will not affect the outcome of the evaluation. The evaluation will focus on the Application form (Part A) and Technical description (Part B), which need to be completed and submitted in the Portal Submission System by the established deadline of 18/09/2024 17:00 Brussels time.

This article has been updated on 03.09 to add the info that the annex can also be submitted at a later stage. And appended on 17.09 with an interpretation on the form (essence paragraph)

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
