Eligibility for Third Countries automatically eligible for funding means...

Short explanation

Most Horizon Europe calls are open to participants from non-EU countries, also called Third Countries. But funding is only automatically available if they are associated or if they appear in the list of Low and Middle Income Countries as listed in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide

Specific third countries can also be excluded from participation to the programme or to a part of the programme  and/or to specific call topics mainly in order to safeguard the EU’s strategic assets, interests, autonomy or security.
