The timeline for December is indeed short, also because we would have to consult our membership. In addition, Partnerships (at least the co- programmed) have to deliver the Biennial Report by end of January, which could be one input to prepare more in details scenario(s) for the phasing-out. Shall we go rather for end of March as kind of a deadline for 1st draft of phasing-out strategy?

The development of a phasing-out strategy is an ex-ante criterion. For co-programmed partnerships, it should already be in place before the Horizon Europe mid-term evaluation (April 2025). The December draft already provides a postponed timeline
