The EU has bilateral agreements with 20 individual countries around the world. These agreements are based on common interests and priorities, aiming to increase cooperation in research and innovation. More information about the EU-Algeria Science and Technology Agreement can be found here.
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.

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
