The number of Proposals with a Coordinator from Cyprus is 1,059.<\/p>\n<p>From the Proposals submitted with Cypriot participation, 510 Proposals were selected for funding, with the participation of 688 Organisations and EUR 233.5 million requested funding. This amount has already exceeded the amount secured by Cyprus in the 7th EU Framework Program (93.17 million Euros). Out of the 688 applications from Cyprus, 247 are from Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The EU requested funding for Cypriot SMEs amounts to 72.33 million Euros, which corresponds to 35% of the total requested funding of the Cypriot bodies, a percentage that significantly exceeds the corresponding total percentage for the &#8220;Horizon 2020&#8221; Program, which amounts to 28%.<\/p>\n<p>Taking into account the contributions of EU member states in the EU budget for the &#8220;Horizon 2020&#8221; Program, Cyprus seems to have an advantage by securing more money than it contributes to the Program. In particular, for each 1 euro Cyprus contributes, it manages to raise just over 3 euros. This places Cyprus in the first place among the EU member states, as well as the first place in relation to the per capita Net Economic Benefit from the Program &#8220;Horizon 2020&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The overall success rate in the &#8220;Horizon 2020&#8221; Program amounts to 12.18%, while the respective success rate for Cyprus is 13.7%.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, the results so far for Cyprus&#8217; participation are considered encouraging. The participation of Cypriot companies in the &#8220;Horizon 2020&#8221; is remarkable, as it is significantly higher compared to the total participation of companies in the Program. However, it must be acknowledged that there is considerable room for improvement, especially in the participation of Cypriot Organisations in more competitive consortia and in the expansion of the participation of Cypriot Organisations as coordinators of Proposals.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_4'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-6323'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div class='flex_column_table av-kbtbb15x-1a4845f200c28ff10fbe612f439f3f8a sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kbtbb15x-1a4845f200c28ff10fbe612f439f3f8a\">\n.flex_column.av-kbtbb15x-1a4845f200c28ff10fbe612f439f3f8a{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-kbtbb15x-1a4845f200c28ff10fbe612f439f3f8a av_one_half  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kbtbavlu-0b97b4662b1e4f1bf20c0d184fabdd2b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kbtbavlu-0b97b4662b1e4f1bf20c0d184fabdd2b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kbtbavlu-0b97b4662b1e4f1bf20c0d184fabdd2b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kbtbavlu-0b97b4662b1e4f1bf20c0d184fabdd2b av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-23  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/eur.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/eur.png 597w, https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/eur-300x185.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='eur'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-9956 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-9956 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/eur.png\" alt='' title='eur'  height=\"369\" width=\"597\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/eur.png 597w, https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/eur-300x185.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 597px) 100vw, 597px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='av-flex-placeholder'><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kbtbb15x-15fab9e25503a0d6f5c14cf5ba368d1a\">\n.flex_column.av-kbtbb15x-15fab9e25503a0d6f5c14cf5ba368d1a{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-kbtbb15x-15fab9e25503a0d6f5c14cf5ba368d1a av_one_half  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-top av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kbtbavlu-e16c56673d181fcc6906fe3ad4ba88f9\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kbtbavlu-e16c56673d181fcc6906fe3ad4ba88f9 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kbtbavlu-e16c56673d181fcc6906fe3ad4ba88f9 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kbtbavlu-e16c56673d181fcc6906fe3ad4ba88f9 av-styling- av-img-linked avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-25  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/H2020.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/H2020.png 549w, https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/H2020-300x287.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" class='avia_image '  aria-label='H2020'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-9958 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-9958 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/H2020.png\" alt='' title='H2020'  height=\"526\" width=\"549\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/H2020.png 549w, https:\/\/www.research.org.cy\/wp-content\/uploads\/H2020-300x287.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

The funding was secured through the competitive processes of the \u201cTeaming for Excellence\u201d Program, one of the major instruments of the \u201cSpreading Excellence and Widening Participation\u201d Program.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, Cyprus currently secured EU funding for six Centres of Excellence. The support is of up to 15 million Euro for each of the successful Centres, while at the same time the Republic of Cyprus committed to match the funding with additional 15 million Euros for each Centre as well.<\/p>\n<p>It should be highlighted that for the \u00abTeaming for Excellence\u00bb Programme, Cyprus is listed first amongst EU counterparts when referring to securing funding. RIF provided pre-screening and advisory services for most of the proposals submitted, while all proposals received a letter of commitment from the Republic of Cyprus regarding the additional financial support channelled through national sources.<\/p>\n<p>A two-stage submission and review procedure was followed, where during the first Phase the successful applications received funding of 400,000-500,000 to develop a Business Plan. During the second Phase, proposals submitted included the elaborated Business Plans for the development and operation of the Centres of Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeaming for Excellence\u201d aims at
