The COOPERATION Programme supports proposals from multi-national, multi-sectoral consortia. Each proposal must include a minimum of three partners from three different European Member States or Associated Countries.

Canadian researchers are eligible to participate in these proposals on a self-funded basis. In exceptional circumstances, if the proposal can successfully make the case that a Canadian partner’s participation is both essential to the project’s success and that it represents a unique expertise not available in Europe, Canadians may also be eligible to receive funding directly from the European Commission.

Some calls for proposals are also specifically . Although Canadians may participate in any project, these calls especially encourage the participation of Canadian partners. A listing of these targeted calls is now available at
