7. Can users access infrastructures/facilities in their home country?

H2020 rules prescribe that the user group leader and the majority of the users must work in a country other than the country(ies) where the installation is located (transnationality principle).

Based on that, the answer is YES users can access infrastructure located in the same country in which they work, but only as members of a user group where the leader and the majority of users work in a country other than the country where said infrastructures/installations are located.

Also, to be noted that priority is given to user groups composed of users who are working in countries where no equivalent research infrastructure exists.
