* For the purposes of applying Regulation of the Government of the Slovak Republic No. 224/2026 Coll., a scholarship under this programme means a financial payment made to a natural person from a grant supporting a project approved under the Horizon Europe programme, provided that it may not constitute a wage or any other payment linked to an employment relationship established under Slovak legislationhttps://www.minedu.sk/minedu/ (the Labour Code) (For cases where an employment relationship is established under Slovak legislation, a different mechanism for expressing the interest of the Slovak Republic may be used, specifically pursuant to Regulation of the Government of the Slovak Republic No. 521/2021 Coll. on the interest of the Slovak Republic in granting a national visa to highly qualified third-country nationals.)— i.e. it may not involve an employment relationship between the foreign national and his/her potential employer in Slovakia. As a rule, these are funds earmarked for mobility or to cover living costs and the like, with the financial payment being paid from the resources of the project under implementation. For this purpose, the institution identified in the column "Legal entity responsible for administration and implementation of the exact programme" shall, in addition to the name of the programme as stated above, also state in the document pursuant to Section 3 of the Government Regulation the project acronym and the project ID, so that the information on the project duration can be verified in the CORDIS database; responsibility for correctly identifying whether the financial payment to the natural person meets the definition of a scholarship for the purposes of the Government Regulation, as set out here, lies solely with the institution that issued the document.
