Eligibility criteria for Croatian project partners are as follows:

  • research organizations:

o  public research institutes

o  public higher education institutions

o  other legal entities performing research activity

Also, other legal entities from business sector, which are not SME’s can apply as project partners, but they must ensure their own funding for their participation in the project activities since they are not eligible for MSE funds.
