Researchers from Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia eligible as researchers from Associated Countries in FP7

The status of researchers from these four WBC countries that has taken effect from January 1, 2007. is based on the procedure that has recently been lunched - the preparing of Memorandum of Understanding on terms and conditions for participation as an Associated Country in FP7.

 

In the article by Ms. Tanja Friederichs, from DG research, it is stated that:

... In mid-February 2007 Serbia, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia and Montenegro requested to become associated to FP7. For these four countries, the procedure has been launched (preparing a Memorandum of Understanding on terms and conditions for participation as an Associated Country in FP7), for approval of the decision by the European Commission. Once the internal EC procedure is finalised, and the Memorandum is also approved by the associating country, the signing ceremony can take place. These Memoranda of Understanding take, however, effect from January 1, 2007. This means that all researchers, institutes, universities and SMEs from these countries are eligible as Associated Countries in the calls for proposals organised under FP7 and can be project coordinators. Participation as an Associated Country means that the national researchers have equal status as researchers from the 27 Member States. Consequently, they enjoy more opportunities than if they had remained a third country under FP7. ...
