Eligibility for Horizon Europe Associated Countries means...

Short explanation

Association to Horizon Europe is the closest form of international cooperation in Horizon Europe. Entities of Associated Countries can participate in the Horizon Europe calls under the same conditions as entities from the EU Member States and are therefore eligible for funding, unless specific limitations or conditions are laid down in the work programme and/or call topic text.

Not only EU neighbouring countries can apply for association, any country in the world with a strong research and innovation capacity that share common values with Europe can apply for association to Horizon Europe.

There are 4 categories of countries eligible for association with Horizon Europe:

  • (a) European Free Trade Association (EFTA) members which are members of the European Economic Area (EEA)
  • (b) Acceding countries, candidate countries and potential candidates
  • (c) European neighbourhood policy countries
  • (d) Non-EU countries  and territories that fulfil a set of criteria related to their economic, political and research and innovation systems

Close to the start of the Association, transitional measures can be set in place, through which entities of these countries can already be included as beneficiaries in call topics. Details are mentioned in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide.

All details regarding country eligibility is compiled in the infosheet “International cooperation".

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.
