PF: Is a researcher who did a joint PhD with institutions in country A and country B eligible to apply for country B?

In cases of joint degrees, where the main place of residence and activity was in country A and the institution in country B was merely visited for short periods of time, the main activity would be in country A. Therefore, the researcher would be ineligible for institutions located in country A if the period in question exceeds 12 months during the last 3 years, but would be eligible to apply with an institution in country B.

It is crucial to emphasize that the clearance of proposal eligibility will be conducted by the European Research Executive Agency after the call deadline, considering the numerous potential scenarios. Consequently, eligibility for individual applicants (both researchers and institutions) prior to the call deadline cannot be assessed or confirmed. It is the sole responsibility of the applicants to diligently review all eligibility criteria and ensure the provision of accurate information in the submission forms.
