What is the maximum amount one organisation/individual can be granted ?
...
Regarding eligible costs we understand that for Type 2, NGI-Trust would cover 66% of costs, while the consortium would need to cover the remaining 1/3 of those costs (up to a maximum of combined funding of 180K€ per project), right? (E.g. if consortium partners provide 50K€ of own funds, NGI-Trust would provide 100K€).
That is correct.
Should project participants be located in an EU country ? And does this apply also to team members (EU nationals) and subcontractors ?
Project participants should be registered (if a legal entity) or resident (if an individual) in one of the EU28 Member States or in one of the Horizon 2020 Associated Countries - see list here : http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/3cpart/h2020-hi-list-ac_en.pdf
There are no restrictions on the nationality of team members but they should be employed by a participant organisation.
Similarly, there is no restriction on the nationality or location of subcontractors. Subcontracting needs to be explained in the application (why you use a subcontractor, input to the project, etc.).
For a type 2 or type 3 project, do you have any further details of what constitutes matched funding?
We are flexible concerning matching funding, which may come either from internal funds of the organisation or external funding. In the latter case you should indicate the source, e.g. national or regional public funding, external investor, bank loan, etc.
We are a start-up formed this year with no financial accounts to date. Reading the guide for applicants of the NGI_Trust Open Call, it states that you need to provide the “Statement of overall turnover for the last two financial years”. Because of this, we are not sure if a start-up is eligible for participation in this call. Are we eligible to apply?
