We are excited to announce that, as of 17 June 2021, South Africa has been added to the list of countries that are automatically eligible for Horizon Europe Funding.
What does this mean for South African researchers and companies?
This means that South African researchers and companies will be able to participate in international cooperation projects as part of EU-funded actions.
Most Horizon Europe calls are open to participants from non-associated countries and international organisations, unless specific limitations or conditions are laid down in the work programme and/or the call/topic text, such as those highlighted for associated countries. Moreover, some Horizon Europe calls are particularly relevant for international cooperation, encouraging or even requiring the participation of legal entities from non-associated non-EU countries in the funded actions.
