Use of Force Majeure Clause Covid-19 (coronavirus) has led to many Horizon 2020 projects, as project meetings and events being cancelled all around Europe.

According to Article 51 of the H2020 Model Grant Agreement (H2020 MGA), a party participating in a European funded action can cite force majeure if they cannot fulfill their obligations under their GA.

For example, one of the reasons may be the inability of participants to attend if a consortium meeting has been canceled or an area has been affected by COVID-19.
