General rule: Applicants from non-EU countries are almost always free to take part in
Horizon 2020 programmes –even if the call for proposals or topic text do not state this

Important!! In your application, you should specify what your international
collaborator brings to the table (expertise and added value). Important to include how
the project will manage IPR issues.
