  • Coordinator / Project Coordinator

    The coordinator is the beneficiary chosen by the consortium to manage the project and represent it before the Commission. All payments pass through the coordinator's account, and it is the coordinator who submits the reports and deliverables; the grant agreement expressly forbids delegating these duties to anyone else.

  • Consortium (consortium)

    A consortium is a group of legal entities that submit a proposal together and sign the grant agreement. Horizon Europe research and innovation actions require at least three independent organisations from three different countries, at least one of them from an EU Member State.
