It says that groups must be qualified to participate in EC FP7, but I'm not

My impression is that a for-profit organisation from rich countries
like the USA may not get funding from the EC, but not-for-profit
orgs it can be possible. However we don't have a generic rule as
each case should be discussed with the EC. For instance I heard
about USA universities being funded (kind of not-for-profit).<br>
