Au sein du programme de travail 2022 du cluster 3 d’Horizon Europe, 8 appels à propositions sont particulièrement ouverts à la coopération internationale – c’est-à-dire pour lesquels la participation d’entités juridiques et organisations internationales ayant leur siège dans un Etat tiers non associé au Programme Horizon Europe est recommandée.
Ces appels à propositions n’exigent pas de manière obligatoire de coopération internationale, mais invitent les consortiums à en considérer l’opportunité ou, au mieux, conseillent fortement d’inclure des entités internationales dans les propositions déposées. Néanmoins, nous tenons à rappeler que ce qui s’apparente à un conseil dans les textes des appels est à considérer comme nécessaire.
En termes d’éligibilité au financement des entités établies dans des États tiers, deux cas de figure sont à considérer :
-
Les pays industrialisés et les plus grandes économies à revenu intermédiaire (Brésil, Chine, Russie, Inde) sont censés couvrir les coûts de participation de leurs entités. De manière exceptionnelle, celles-ci peuvent être éligibles au financement si cela est expressément prévu dans le programme de travail ou si leur participation est considérée essentielle pour la mise en œuvre de l’action ;
-
Les entités établies dans des pays à faible ou moyens revenus sont automatiquement éligibles aux financements : consulter cette page pour en savoir plus.

Améliorer la coopération internationale des premiers secours.
Dimension de la coopération internationale au sein de l'appel :
“International cooperation is key to respond to different kind of natural and man-made disasters, as well as intentional security threats.”
“International cooperation to define common requirements has helped to create a clearer picture on what gaps remain and cannot be satisfied by existing solutions, thus requiring targeted research. Global capability gaps have been identified by international expert groups such as the UNDRR Scientific and Technical Advisory Group and the International Forum to Advance First Responder Innovation (IFAFRI), involving scientific experts, firefighters, medical responders and police officers from several EU and non-EU countries.”
“Proposals can be submitted by any eligible organisation and do not necessarily require the cooperation with co-applicants from an IFAFRI member country. [3] Participation from non-associated third countries (including the non-EU IFAFRI partners) is however encouraged and the participation of at least 2 first responders’ organisations from at least 2 different non-EU countries is strongly encouraged.”
“Where possible and relevant, synergy-building and clustering initiatives with successful proposals in the same area should be considered, including the organisation of international conferences in close coordination with the Community for European Research and Innovation for Security (CERIS) activities and/or other international events.”
