applying to these actions are the standard Horizon 2020 rules for participation (RfP). While the rules
used in Section 2 are to some extent analogous to the Horizon 2020 RfP, specific rules, concerning
participation and funding rates, apply. As the projects selected in Section 2 are funded directly by the
national funding bodies they will be subject to the respective national regulations. For more details
