International Cooperation

International cooperation will be a cross-cutting issue in H2020;

The approach will be similar to FP7 practice and may include a general opening of the programme, targeted openings, horizontal actions on international cooperation, and coordinated calls;

Collaborative actions with specific third countries or their groups will be implemented on the basis of common interest and mutual benefit;

Reciprocal access to third country programmes will be encouraged;

Participants from certain middle income countries (BRIC and Mexico) will no longer be eligible for automatic EC funding.
