Seal Awards: Sovereignty Seal (STEP) and Seal of Excellence (SoE)

• All projects contributing to the STEP objectives, will be awarded a Sovereignty Seal and those receiving high scores under the Horizon Europe selection process will be awarded a Seal of Excellence by the European Commission, provided that the projects have been assessed and comply with the minimum quality requirements. The project Coordinator is then informed via an e-mail and a Portal Notification (PNS) message that they have been awarded a STEP Seal or a Seal of Excellence. However, the publication of the awarded Seal on the Portal will only be done, with the approval of the project Coordinator.
