The Hop On Facility integrates one additional participant from a Widening country (Czechia included) to an ongoing project under Pillar 2 or the EIC pathfinder scheme while topping up a relevant task or work package and the cost incurred by the additional participant. This will happen on a voluntary basis without affecting the freedom of choice for the consortium and the principle of excellence. The Hop On Facility is open to all topics under Pillar 2 and the EIC pathfinder. The action will be part of an existing project with a valid Grant Agreement. Applications must demonstrate the R&I added value of the new partner. Proposal should include a detailed description of the profile of the new partner and its role in the existing project. Selected consortia will be invited to submit an amendment request for accession of a new partner, modification of the description of the action and upgrade of the budget.

The budget increase must be exclusively account at the benefit of the new partner with the exception of a coordination fee of up to 10% of the increased budget to be allocated to the coordinator of the consortium. Around 40 projects will be supported in 2023, the same number in 2024..

The EC has already published the list of eligible project on the call page and will update it on regular basis. The list is accessible through this link. The projects can be contacted directly by clicking on the icon on the right.
