  • HORIZON 2020 Information on ongoing projects: “Article 51 of the H2020 Model Grant Agreement (H2020 MGA) sets out the general framework and conditions under which the force majeure clause can be applied. Typically, a party under H2020 will be in the event of force majeure exempted from non-performance of their obligations (i.e. there is no breach of GA obligations and none of the adverse measures for breaches are applied). Costs are eligible if they comply with the general eligibility requirements like any other under the action meet the costs. However, if force majeure causes additional costs for the implementation of the measure, these normally have to be borne by the partner concerned. However, it is recognized that the coronavirus outbreak in the EU and elsewhere may actually have an impact on the participation of individuals in meetings and events organized by the partners for the purpose of the ongoing H2020 actions and their implementation. For example, this can prevent the partners from fulfilling their obligations under the measure or even from carrying out work in a zone affected by the virus. It can also force partners to cancel a session because key staff are unavailable or because most attendees are unable to attend. In this case, the partners concerned must immediately inform the Project Officer, who will examine on a case-by-case basis the possible application of the provisions on force majeure within the meaning of Article 51 of the H2020 MGA

Article 51 see explanations in the Annotated Model Grant Agreement p. 347 f
