Why collaborate with the European Union?
• The EU is a world leader in Research and Innovation:
• 24% of global expenditure on research generated by Europe
• 32% of high impact publications
• 32% of patent applications
• Some of the best universities (25 in top 100)
• Some of the most innovative companies (1/4 of world's top 2000 R&D investors)
• And the biggest multilateral R&I funding programme open to the World: 'Horizon 2020'(2014-2020).

How can India participate in Horizon 2020
There are three main ways Indians can participate in 'Horizon 2020':
1.Collaborative research: participate as partner in Research and Innovation Action (RIA) or Innovation Action (IA) and coordination and support actions (CSA)
2.Participant/scientist in a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) fellow: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/search
3.Apply for a European Research Council (ERC) grant or become a team member / visiting: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/partnering
4.Type of entities: public/private universities, research institutes, SMEs/Industries, NGOs etc.

Policy Research and Innovation
I. Collaboration: participation & funding
• Create consortia with European partners (always minimum three from Europe) to find solutions to Global Challenges (pillar 3) or create competiveness through Industrial Leadership (pillar 2).
• As an emerging economy, India is not automatically funded by EU. The following options are possible for Indian entities:
• Co-Funding Mechanism (CFM) established with Indian Government (DST/DBT/MoES): successful Indian applicants in H2020 calls earmarked by DST/DBT/MoES will be funded (see DST/DBT/MoES Websites for calls and modalities).
• Own Funding (including in kind contribution)
• Under exceptional circumstances, EC will fund Indian participant.
Policy Research and Innovation
India: 100% reimbursement of direct costs and indirect costs /overhead
charges: as per DBT norms
• Public & Private Academic/Research Organisations
• Recognised Universities/Academic Institutions (public/private)
• National R&D Laboratories
• Private
• R&D entities recognised as Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (SIRO) by DSIR
• Private R&D institutions, Indian NGOs/VOs should be registered in the DARPAN Portal of NITI Aayog
• Indian SME/Industry
• Rs.1.5 Crores per project, subject to matching contribution from industry. Company should be incorporated in India and should have 51% Indian corpus i.e. shareholding.
