We classify each call by its official type of action and the general EU rules: collaborative research and innovation actions ask, as a rule, for three entities from three countries; many coordination and support actions and prizes accept a single entity; the EIC Accelerator is for a single company. Whatever the programme regulation does not set stays under “it depends”. The official text of each call prevails.
