Reports
An organisation from a third country may participate as a partner in a proposal (article 7 of Regulation 1290/2013, H2020 Rules of Participation).
Under IMI2 JU, only organisations from EU and H2020 associated countries are in principle eligible for IMI funding. Additionally, for that these organisations to be actually funded, they have to fulfil the conditions for funding in the IMI 2 JU context (Article 1 of Regulation 622/2014).
However, legal entities established in third countries (Non EU nor H2020 Associated countries, e.g. Russia) may – exceptionally - be eligible for funding if their participation is deemed to be essential by the IMI2 JU for carrying out the action. Please note that this is exceptional and it has to be assessed during the evaluation phase considering the objectives of the action (based on adequate justification).
- ‘Essentiality’ with regards to an entity’s necessary inclusion in an IMI2 JU project is made on the scientific merits of the contribution made to the project and as such is assessed by the IMI2 evaluation panel, i.e. independent experts.
- This necessity should be of such a character that the given IMI2 JU project would be unable to achieve its objectives without the inclusion of that entity, e.g. a similar expertise is not available within the EU or H2020 associated countries.
As a general guideline, the participation is deemed essential for carrying out the action by the IMI2 JU on the grounds that participation by the applicant has clear benefits for the consortium, such as:
- outstanding competence/expertise;
- access to research infrastructure;
- access to particular geographical environments;
- access to data.
As in the case of organisations from EU and H2020 associated countries, the ‘essential’ legal entity from a third country should also fulfil the conditions for funding of Article 1 of the Commission Delegated Regulation No 622/2014.
The use of this template is mandatory for all clinical studies in all stage 2 proposals. This has to be uploaded as a separate part of the application in the submission system.
