Horizon 2020
International cooperation
• Horizon 2020 is a world-class programme open to International
participation
• Organisations from non-EU member states may participate in
projects (across themes in the Horizon 2020 programme)
• Partners from most ASEAN countries "automatically funded" by
the EU (except wealthier nations: Singapore and Brunei)
• But!
• Must be part of a successful proposal
•
•
•
Proposal peer review by independent experts
Competitive process
Minimum condition of at least three different organisations from at least
three EU member states (or associated states)
INTERNATIONAL
COOPERATION
2014-2015
COMPET 9 - 6
Technology "demonstrator" projects for
exploration
• Demonstrator projects would target underpinning enabling
technologies for space exploration (e.g. robotics, energy,
propulsion or life support).

International Cooperation in space science
Europe should continue to play a leading role in planetary science
shaping the research in the field
• including the elaboration of
• Planetary protection guidelines.
