26 Excellent Science European Research Council: enabling individual researchers and their teams to pursue the most promising avenues at the frontier of science; Excellent Science s objective is to reinforce and extend the excellence of the EU science base and to make the EU research and innovation system more competitive on a global scale. Future and Emerging Technologies: extending Europe s capacity for advanced and paradigm-changing innovation with radically new, high-risk ideas and accelerating the Union-wide structuring of the corresponding scientific communities.; Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions: ensuring research training as well as career and knowledge-exchange opportunities through cross-border and cross-sector mobility of researchers; Research Infrastructure: developing European research infrastructure for 2020 and beyond, foster their innovation potential and human capital. 15

27 ERC: Opportunities for Canadians ERC grants are open to researchers from anywhere in the world (but the host institution needs to be established in a EU member state or Associated country to H2020). Principal investigators are required only to spend a minimum of 50 per cent of their work time on the project and a minimum of 50 per cent of their work time in a EU Member State or Associated Country. They can spend the other half of their time in Canada. Research institutions outside Europe may be eligible for funding from the grant if they host researchers who are part of the research team and essential to the project. They offer additional funding for researchers coming from outside Europe.

28 MSC: Opportunities for Canadians Within the Individual Fellowship programme: European Fellowships may be attractive for postdoctoral or more senior Canadian researchers seeking positions and advanced research and/or innovation training in Europe. Global Fellowships may be attractive for Canadian institutions as they provide full funding (salary, travel and accommodation) for postdoctoral or more senior European researchers to receive training and conduct research for one to two years in Canada. Within the RISE programme: Canadian institutions may participate as partner organizations in RISE Grants. They do not sign the Grant Agreement and do not receive funding from the Commission. By participating they have an opportunity to develop new or existing partnerships and to host fully funded European research and innovation staff for work on common projects. They must provide funding for travel and subsistence of Canadian staff seconded to European organizations.

29 FET: Opportunities for Canadians Canadians are welcome to participate in FET projects on a self-funded basis. They are eligible for EC financial support only if the EC deems their participation essential to project success. They must demonstrate that (a) the project would not meet its objectives without their contribution and (b) there is no European researcher able to make the same contribution ERI: Opportunities for Canadians The ERI Work Programme encourages international cooperation at the policy level. Calls for coordination and support actions supporting such initiatives are published on the H2020 web portal Participant Portal.
