Preamble
The overall objective of the PRIMA programme is to build research and innovation capacities and to
develop knowledge and common innovative solutions for agro-food systems, to make them
sustainable, and for integrated water provision and management in the Mediterranean area, to make
those systems and that provision and management more climate resilient, efficient, cost-effective and
environmentally and socially sustainable, and to contribute to solving water scarcity, food security,
nutrition, health, well-being and migration problems upstream.
The scale of the research and innovation necessary to address the challenges in the Mediterranean
area is immense due to the systemic character of the major bottlenecks. The scope of research and
innovation is complex, multidisciplinary and requires a multi-actor and cross-border approach. A
collaborative approach among PRIMA Participating States can help to increase the required scale and
scope, by pooling financial and intellectual resources. As of 26 October 2017, the PRIMA programme
counts 15 Participating States (PS): Algeria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy,
Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey. In addition, it is expected that Egypt,
Jordan, Lebanon and Morocco

, referred as 'to be Participating States' (tbPS), will become Participating
States, upon entry into force or, at least, upon provisional application of their respective international
agreements for scientific and technological cooperation with the Union setting out the terms and
conditions of their participation in PRIMA. When the required international agreements start
producing legal effects, these 'to be Participating States' will become Participating States. Section 6
outlines consequences of this change of the legal status for legal entities established in these states.
Based on Decision (EU) 2017/1324 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2017

PRIMA programme will run over a period from 7 August 2017 to 31 December 2028. The European
Union (EU) has decided to support the programme with a maximum financial contribution of up to €
220 million from the Horizon 2020 programme's Societal Challenge 2 (‘Food security, sustainable
agriculture and forestry, marine, maritime and inland water research, and the bioeconomy’) and
Societal Challenge 5 (‘Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials’) and
Industrial Leadership (Nanotechnologies, advanced materials, advanced manufacturing and
processing, biotechnology). The conditions for the EU financial contribution are set forth in Art. 4 of
the Decision (EU) 2017/1324.
The PRIMA Implementation Structure (PRIMA-IS) is legally established as a foundation under Spanish
law in Barcelona, Spain and is also referred to in this document as 'PRIMA Foundation'.
