The Hop On Facility integrates one additional participant from a Widening country to an ongoing project under Pillar 2 while topping up a relevant task or work package and the cost incurred by the additional participant. This will happen on a voluntary basis without affecting the freedom of choice for the consortium and the principle of excellence.
The EU estimates an EU contribution of between EUR 0.20 and 0.60 million per project.
2025 Hop On Facility call is open for application. The deadline for application is 4 September 2025.
