 above if:
• participation is deemed to be essential for carrying out the action;
• such funding is provided under a bilateral scientific and technological agreement or
   any other arrangement between the Union and the international organization or, for
   entities established in a country which is not a Participating State, the country in
   which the legal entity is established.

Participants from countries not listed above can be part of a consortium but:
• they have to fund their own participation
• they cannot coordinate the project and they are not taken into account in the
   minimum number of participants required to have an eligible consortium .
Please note that:
Morocco and Egypt are to become Participating States.
The procedures for the conclusion of their international agreements with the EU are in
progress, legal entities established in Egypt and Morocco can participate in PRIMA projects
under the following conditions:

Calls in Section 1

- They count towards the minimum number of participants in the consortium if the international
agreement produces legal effects at the latest by the day of the submission deadline of the relevant
call for proposals.

- They are eligible for funding if the international agreement produces legal effects at the latest on
the day the Grant Agreement (GA) is signed.

If the international agreement does not produce legal effects on the day of signature of the GA,
these entities are still eligible for participation, but without funding. In case that their participation is
deemed to be essential for carrying out the action by the PRIMA Foundation funding may be
granted.

If the international agreement starts producing legal effects after the GA is signed, the GA may be
amended to provide for redistribution of funding (and related tasks) among the entities in the
consortium. Such amendment cannot, however, give rise to additional funding for the project.

Evaluation procedure

Individual Evaluation:

Panel review: after the remote individual evaluation, evaluators meet in a panel to discuss and
find agreement on the initial comments and scores attributed to each proposal. They will prepare
an Evaluation Summary Report (ESR) for each proposal, which shows the outcome of the
evaluation of the project proposal.

The panel is also responsible for the preparation of a ranking list of the proposals by consensus.
