Article 185 Initiatives
Three levels of integration are conditions for success
1. Scientific integration: Common definition and implementation of
research activities
→ central organization of calls
→ common evaluation and selection rules
→ centralized monitoring of projects
2. Management integration: Dedicated Implementation Structure
(DIS) with appropriate governance
3. Financial integration
→ Ex-ante financial commitment by participating states
→ Agreement on central selection procedure and respect of
the ranking list

(d)
(e)
a clear definition of the objective to be pursued and its
relevance to the objectives of Horizon 2020 and broader Union
policy objectives;
indicative financial commitments of the participating countries,
in cash or in kind (…);
the added value of action at Union level;
the critical mass, with regard to the size and the number of
programmes involved, the similarity or complementarities of
activities and the share of relevant research they cover;
the efficiency of Article 185 TFEU as the most appropriate means
for achieving the objectives.

Article 185 Implementation
under Horizon 2020
Horizon 2020 spells out integration levels for using the
Article 185 instrument
 Under FP7 this was not explicit
Alignment required with objectives of Horizon 2020
 Under FP7 contribution to societal challenges was not a
criterion for Article 185 Initiatives
Rules for participation and dissemination of Horizon 2020
will apply to Article 185 initiatives
 Under FP7 Article 185 Initiatives were not covered by the
Rules for Participation
