Funding of Russian participants in Horizon 2020
Russian researchers, universities, research organisations and enterprises are able to team up with their European partners to participate in projects under Horizon 2020 and make the best use of Europe’s excellent opportunities in research and innovation.
Russian researchers and organisations are encouraged to participate in all actions of Horizon 2020 as consortium members and take part in the proposal submission to the European Commission.
To support Russian participation in Horizon 2020 actions and in view of the fact that participants from Russia are no longer automatically funded by the EU, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation publishes dedicated calls to offer funding support for Russian Horizon 2020 participants in accordance with its own call procedures (Russian Federal Programme (FTP) "R&D in Priority Areas of Development of the Russian S&T Complex 2014-2020"). Russian applicants to these calls will have to provide a document acknowledging their participation in the consortium of the joint Horizon 2020 proposal, submitted under the Horiz on 2020 call.
The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation has established a functional mailbox horizon2020(at)mon.gov.ru to which the Russian scientific community may send enquiries about support available in Russia for participation in Horizon 2020.
In addition, the Russian Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE) may be able to support the participation of small innovative Russian enterprises in Horizon 2020 projects on a case-by-case basis according to its own funding rules
