2. Scoring and weighting:
Unless otherwise specified in the call conditions:
Evaluation scores will be awarded for the criteria, and not for the different aspects listed
in the above table. For full proposals, each criterion will be scored out of 5. The
threshold for individual criteria will be 3. The overall threshold, applying to the sum of
the three individual scores, will be 10.
For Innovation actions to determine the ranking, the score for the criterion ‘impact’ will
be given a weight of 1.5.
For the evaluation of first-stage proposals under a two-stage submission procedure, only
the criteria ‘excellence’ and ‘impact’ will be evaluated. Within these criteria, only the
aspects in bold will be considered. The threshold for both individual criteria will be 4.
For each indicative budget-split in the call conditions, the overall threshold, applying to
the sum of the two individual scores, will be set at the level such that the total requested
budget of proposals admitted to stage 2 is as close as possible to three times the
available budget, and in any case, not less than two and a half times the available
budget.
The actual level will therefore depend on the volume of proposals received. The
threshold is expected to normally be set at 8 or 8.5.
3. Priority order for proposals with the same score:
Unless the call conditions indicate otherwise, the following method will be applied (except for
the first stage of two-stage calls, where proposals having the same score are kept together and
no prioritisation is made.)
HORIZON 2020 – WORK PROGRAMME 2018-2020
General Annexes
Part 19 - Page 32 of 37
If necessary, the panel will determine a priority order for proposals which have been awarded
the same score within a ranked list. Whether or not such a prioritisation is carried out will
depend on the available budget or other conditions set out in the call fiche. The following
approach will be applied successively for every group of ex aequo proposals requiring
prioritisation, starting with the highest scored group, and continuing in descending order:
a)
Proposals that address topics, or sub-topics, not otherwise covered by more highly-
ranked proposals, will be considered to have the highest priority.
b)
The proposals identified under (a), if any, will themselves be prioritised according to
the scores they have been awarded for the criterion excellence. When these scores are
equal, priority will be based on scores for the criterion impact. In the case of
Innovation actions this prioritisation will be done first on the basis of the score for
impact, and then on that for excellence.
c)
If necessary, any further prioritisation will be based on the following factors, in order:
size of EU budget allocated to SMEs; gender balance among the personnel named in
the proposal who will be primarily responsible for carrying out the research and/or
innovation activities.
d)
If a distinction still cannot be made, the panel may decide to further prioritise by
considering how to enhance the quality of the project portfolio through synergies
between projects, or other factors related to the objectives of the call or to Horizon
2020 in general. These factors will be documented in the report of the Panel.
e)
The method described in (a), (b), (c) and (d) will then be applied to the remaining ex
aequos in the group.
4. For prizes, the award criteria, scoring and weighting will be set out in the Rules of contest.
Evaluation procedure
1. Calls may be subject to either a one-stage or two-stage submission and evaluation
procedure.
2. Proposals are evaluated by independent experts (see Article 15(7) Horizon 2020 Rules for
Participation Regulation No 1290/2013 for exceptional cases).
As part of the evaluation by independent experts, a panel review will recommend one or more
ranked lists for the proposals under evaluation, following the scoring systems indicated above.
A ranked list will be drawn up for every indicative budget shown in the call conditions.
3. Proposal coordinators receive an Evaluation Summary Report (ESR), showing the results
of the evaluation for a given proposal. For proposals that successfully pass the first stage of
two-stage calls, common feedback is provided to all coordinators, but the first stage ESR is
only sent after the second stage evaluation.
4. If special procedures apply, they will be set out in the call conditions.

Budget flexibility
The budgets set out in this Work Programme are indicative.
Unless otherwise stated, final budgets may change following evaluation.
The final figures may change by up to 20% compared to those indicated in this Work
Programme, for the following budgeted activities:
total expenditure for calls (up to 20% of the total expenditure for each call);
repartition of call budgets within a call (up to 20% of the total expenditure of the call);
evaluation and monitoring (up to 20% of the total expenditure for all these activities);
other individual actions not implemented through calls for proposals (up to 20% for
each one).
The cumulated changes above may not exceed 20% of the maximum contribution provided
for this Work Programme, as set out in Article 2 of the related Commission Implementing
Decision for each year.
40
Changes within these limits shall not be considered to be substantial within the meaning of
Article 94(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1268/2012.
40
In a case of actions financed with the appropriations coming from two years, for the purpose of the calculation
of the cumulative changes, only the part of the action budget corresponding to the appropriations of a given year
may be taken into account.

Actions involving classified information
In the case of actions involving security-related activities, special provisions for classified
information
(as
defined
in
the
Commission
Rules
of
Procedure
(Decision
2015/444/EC,ECSC,Euratom, and and further explained in the
Guidelines for the
classification of research results
41
) will be taken in the grant agreement, as necessary and
appropriate.
Proposals should not contain any classified information. However, it is possible that the
output of an action (’results’) needs to be classified, or that classified inputs ('background') are
required. In such cases proposers have to ensure and provide evidence of the adequate
clearance of all relevant facilities. Consortia have to clarify issues such as e.g. access to
classified information or export or transfer control with the national authorities of their
Member States/Horizon 2020 associated countries prior to submitting the proposal. Proposals
need to provide a draft security classification guide, indicating the expected levels of
classification. Appropriate arrangements will have to be included in the consortium
agreement.
The Work Programme will indicate which topics are likely to lead to a security scrutiny.
This applies primarily to the actions under
Part III of the Horizon 2020 Framework
Programme, Societal Challenge 7 ‘Secure Societies — Protecting freedom and security of
Europe and its citizens’, but the provisions may appear in other parts. These references do not
however preclude a different assessment following the security scrutiny. To that effect
positively evaluated proposals involving sensitive or classified information will be flagged to
the members of the Secure Societies Programme Committee configuration and dealt with
according to its Rules for Procedure.
These provisions do not apply to prizes.

Actions involving financial support to third parties
Where a topic allows for grant proposals which foresee a financial support to third parties (in
accordance with Article 137 of the Financial Regulation No 966/2012), the proposal must
clearly detail the objectives and the results to be obtained and include at least the following
elements:
a fixed and exhaustive list of the different types of activities for which a third party
may receive financial support,
the definition of the persons or categories of persons which may receive financial
support,
the criteria for awarding financial support
the criteria for calculating the exact amount of the financial support,
the maximum amount to be granted to each third party (may not exceed EUR 60 000
for each third party unless it is necessary to achieve the objectives of the action) and
the criteria for determining it.
Additionally, the following conditions have to be fulfilled. Projects must publish widely their
open calls and adhere to Horizon 2020 standards with respect to transparency, equal
treatment, conflict of interest and confidentiality. All calls for third parties must be published
on the Horizon 2020 Participants Portal, and on the projects own web site. The calls must
remain open for at least two months. If call deadlines are changed this must immediately be
published on the call page on the participant's portal and all registered applicants must be
informed of the change. Without delay, projects must publish the outcome of the call,
including a description of the third party action, the date of the award, duration, and the legal
name and country.
The calls must have a clear European dimension.
The financial support may also take the form of a prize awarded following a contest organised
by the beneficiary.
In this case, proposals must clearly detail at least the following elements:
the conditions for participation;
the award criteria;
the amount of the prize;
the payment arrangements.
Further conditions regarding the above-listed elements or other elements may be laid down in
the call conditions.
The beneficiary of the EU grant must ensure that the recipients of the financial support allow
the Commission, the European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF) and the Court of Auditors to
exercise their powers of control on documents, information, even stored on electronic media,
or on the final recipient's premises.

Conditions related to open access to research data
Participants will engage in research data sharing, according to Article 29.3 of the Horizon
2020 Model Grant Agreement(s). This means that beneficiaries must deposit and take
measures to make it possible for third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and
disseminate, free of charge for any user: (1) data needed to validate the results presented in
scientific publications ('underlying data'); and (2) other data as specified by the beneficiaries
in their Data Management Plan (DMP, see below).
Projects can "opt-out" of these provisions before or after the signature of the grant agreement
(thereby freeing themselves from the associated obligations) on the following grounds:
a) Incompatibility with the Horizon 2020 obligation to protect results that are expected to
be commercially or industrially exploited
b) Incompatibility with the need for confidentiality in connection with security issues
c) Incompatibility with rules on protecting personal data
d) Incompatibility with the project's main aim
e) If the project will not generate / collect any research data, or
f) If there are other legitimate reasons not to provide open access to research data
Any costs related to the implementation of these provisions are eligible for reimbursement
during the duration of the grant.
A proposal will not be evaluated more favourably if the consortium agrees to share its
research data, nor will it be penalised if it opts-out.
Further information on open access to research data is available on the Participant Portal.
A Data Management Plan (DMP) details what data the project will generate, how it will be
exploited and made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and
preserved. The use of a Data Management Plan is obligatory for all projects that do not opt-
out. Projects that opt-out are also strongly encouraged to submit a Data Management Plan if
relevant for their planned research. Further information on Data Management Plans is
available on the Participant Portal.
