18 Measures to promote participation in the Horizon 2020 projects For applications: Suport to HE&R institutions that have prepared applications of the H2020 projects: 3,000 10,000 Eur (RCL, MoESS); Acquisition of consultancy services (for HE&R institutions): up to 20,000 euros (MITA, MoESS); Assistance to SMEs to prepare applications (INOSPURTAS) (MITA, MoEI); Support for SMEs preparing H2020 applications: up to 15,000 Eur (MITA, MoEI) National Funding for Individual R&D H2020 Marie Skłodowska Curie and European Research Council projects (for 1 MSCA project approx thous. EUR) (RCL, MoESS) For skills: Support for outgoing and incoming researchers (for HE&R institutions): exchange of ideas, visits, internships (RLC, MoESS) TYKU2 project (for HE&R institutions). Key activities: training (for preparing H2020 applications), international events (information days, partner search) (MITA, MoESS) Participation costs for a company, 600-1,000 EUR per participant (one trip) (MITA, MoEI) For communication: Liaison Office in Brussels (LINO) (RCL, MoESS); Baltic Bonus scheme - to promote cooperation between the three Baltic states (LT, LV, EE) for HE&R institutions (MITA, MoESS);

19 Addressing the remuneration issue (low salaries of researchers at the national level) LT challenges in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe Higher ring-fenced budget for widening measures is needed Facilitating collaborative links in European research and innovation and contributing to full engagement of Europe s talent pool Fostering participation of young researchers Synergy with the cohesion policy (state aid rules as the negative effect)
