HORIZON Coordination and Support Actions
Beskrivelse
Scope: The standard admissibility and eligibility conditions for Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs), as outlined in Annex 2, will apply to this call. The CSA Beneficiary will provide financial support to EIC Awardees in the form of lump sums, covering up to 70% of the cost of access to R&D infrastructure, prototyping and IP and legal support and up to 50% of the cost of all other types of services received from EIC Ecosystem Partners. A continuously open call will be implemented for the selection of EIC Awardees, ensuring timely and flexible access to support. Applications should propose a limited number of maximum lump sum amounts, corresponding to different categories of services, as defined in the EIC Service Catalogue. The EIC Awardees having access to this support are as defined in the Glossary and for the purposes of this action include also Awardees selected through calls under the H2020 EIC Pilot (2018-2020)194 and entities awarded a Seal of Excellence under the EIC Work Programmes and the EIC Pre-Accelerator call under WIDERA Work Programme under Horizon Europe. The CSA Beneficiary will launch a continuously open call, inviting eligible entities to apply for a fixed-amount lump sum195 under this action. Applications of the eligible entities submitted to the CSA beneficiary must reference a specific partner from the online EIC Ecosystem Partner Catalogue, and a prove of approval from this Partner. The application may concern a service to be still implemented or already delivered services (no later than 6 months from the accomplishment of the service). Lump sum grants will be awarded by the CSA beneficiary on a “first-come, first-served” basis, determined by the electronic timestamp of the successful application submission, and subject to eligibility checks and confirmation of the absence of double funding. In addition, the CSA Beneficiary will be responsible for disseminating information about the call and establishing a dedicated helpdesk to reply
