Abstract: This paper presents a timely analysis of participation in the 8th European Framework Program (EU FP) Horizon 2020. Our dataset comprises the whole population of research organizations in Norway, and makes it possible to distinguish between non-applicants, non-successful applicants and successful participants. We argue that it is important to distinguish two stages of the participation process: the self-selection stage in which organizations decide whether they like to apply for EU funding, and the second stage in which the European Commission (EC) selects the best applications for funding. Our econometric results indicate that: (1) the propensity to apply is enhanced by prior participation in EU FPs and by complementary national funding schemes; (2) the probability to succeed is strengthened by prior participation as well as the scientific reputation of the applying organization.
