18 Jul 2.21 Can you explain what is understood by “Place of Performance”?

The place where the R&D services will take place. The place of performance conditions require selected contractors to locate a specific part of the R&D activities for the contract, including in particular the principal researcher(s) working for the PCP contract, in Europe. In particular:

• At least 50% of the total value of activities covered by each Specific Contract for PCP Phase 1 and 2 must be performed in the EU Member States or in H2020 associated countries. The principal R&D staff working on each specific contract must be located in the EU Member States or H2020 associated countries.
• At least 50% of the total value of activities covered by the Framework Agreement (i.e., the total value of the activities covered by Phase 1 + the total value of the activities covered by Phase 2 + the total value of the activities covered by Phase 3) must be performed in the EU Member States or H2020 associated countries. The principal R&D staff working on the PCP must be located in the EU Member States or H2020 associated countries
