These Associated (AC) and Third Countries (TC) mentioned above are the Mediterranean
Partner Countries (MPC).
Participants from countries not listed above can be part of a consortium but they have to fund their
own participation. They cannot coordinate the project and they are not taken into account in the
minimum number of participants required to have an eligible consortium (see section 5.2.3). They
also have to attach to their proposal a letter from their organization (signed by a legal representative
of the structure) attesting that the funds to cover their participation to the projects (task(s),
participation to meetings…) in the project will be available.
Ultimately, the national funding rules of a PS will determine whether a particular entity would be
eligible for funding. PRIMA-IS will request PS to verify the eligibility of participants in applicant
consortia for national funding. In the event of a negative outcome of the verification of eligibility for
funding of any participant in the applicant consortium by a PS, PRIMA-IS may require additional
information from a consortium or the participant concerned such as an attestation that the funds to
cover their participation in the project will be available (analogous to the attestation required from
participants from non-PS).
The information provided in this section is without prejudice to the national funding rules of PS which
may also envisage eligibility for funding for specific entities not established in these PS.
Please refer to table 6 which presents indicative budget distribution of Participating States and to be
Participating States with respect to the calls covered by section 2. Based on this table prospective
participants may establish whether the PS / tbPS plans to allocate certain budgets to the Thematic
Areas and particular topics they are interested in.

5.2.2 Standard admissibility and related requirements
1. For all actions under AWP 2018, proposals must comply with the admissibility requirements set out
in this sub-section, unless they are supplemented or modified in the call conditions.
To be considered admissible, a proposal must be:
(a) Submitted in the electronic submission system before the deadline given in the call
conditions
(b) Readable, accessible and printable.
(c) Complete and inclusive of the requested administrative data, the proposal description, and
any other obligatory supporting documents specified in the call conditions;
57
(d) Include a draft plan for the exploitation and dissemination of the results, unless otherwise
specified in the call conditions. The draft plan is not required for proposals at the first stage of
two-stage procedures.
2. In addition to the above admissibility requirements, page limits will apply to parts of
proposals/applications. Unless stated otherwise in the call conditions, the limit for a first-stage
proposal is 10 pages, while the limit for a full proposal is 70 pages.
Excess pages (in over-long proposals/applications) will not be taken into consideration by the
evaluators.
Proposals must be written in a legible font. Further guidance on acceptable fonts, margins and other
page formatting will be included in the proposal templates.
The structure of proposals must correspond to the requirements specified under each section of the
proposal template.
3. The following supporting documents will be required to determine the operational capacity for grant
proposals, unless otherwise specified in the call:
A curriculum vitae or description of the profile of the persons who will be primarily responsible
for carrying out the proposed research and/or innovation activities;
A list of up to five relevant publications, and/or products, services (including widely-used
datasets or software), or other achievements relevant to the call content;
A list of up to five relevant previous projects or activities, connected to the subject of this
proposal;
A description of any significant infrastructure and/or any major items of technical equipment,
relevant to the proposed work;
A description of any third parties that are not represented as project partners, but who will
nonetheless be contributing towards the work (e.g. providing facilities, computing resources).
This scrutiny will be carried out by the evaluators during the evaluation process under the selection
criteria, in particular the award criterion ‘Quality and efficiency of the implementation’. Please refer
to Section 5.2.6 "Evaluation rules".
5.2.3 Standard eligibility conditions
All proposals must comply with the eligibility conditions analogous to those set out in the Rules for
Participation of Horizon 2020 Regulation No.1290/2013 and any derogations to these as specified in
the Decision (EU) 2017/1324.
58
Furthermore, proposals must comply with the eligibility conditions set out in this sub-section, unless
they are supplemented or modified in the call conditions.
A proposal will only be considered eligible if:
(c)
its content corresponds, wholly or in part, to the topic for which it is submitted
(d)
it complies with the eligibility conditions for participation set out in the table below,
depending on the type of action

Eligibility conditions for participation
,
Research & Innovation
Action
(RIA)
At least three legal entities established in three different countries
considered as Participating States as defined in point 5.2.1 by the submission
deadline under the relevant call , out of which:
-at least one must be established in a EU Member State or a third country
associated to Horizon 2020 participating in PRIMA and not being a MPC
25
:
and
-at least one must be established in a third country bordering the
Mediterranean Sea (MPC) considered as a Participating State
26
All three legal entities must be independent of each other.
For Section 2 calls, after the eligibility check done by PRIMA-IS, a second eligibility check will be
performed by the national funding bodies,
aimed at the verification of eligibility for funding. In this
context proposals that are considered eligible for participation by PRIMA-IS (at the consortium level)
will enter into the evaluation process. However, in the event of a negative outcome of the verification
of eligibility for funding of any participant in the applicant consortium by a PS, PRIMA-IS may require
additional information from a consortium or the participant concerned, such as an attestation that the
funds to cover their participation in the project will be available.
25
These countries include Croatia, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal,
Slovenia and Spain.
26
The latest information on the PRIMA PS, including MPC, can be found on PRIMA webpage:
http://www.prima-med.org/. In order to qualify as a MPC, and thus be counted towards the eligibility
conditions for participations, the third country will need to be considered a PS by submission deadline under
the relevant call.
