Can Associated Partners contribute through professional exchange, stakeholder dialogue and future uptake of the tested model? What eligibility conditions apply to any project-supported participation costs or non-infrastructure activities involving them?

Co-funded partners can support associated partners by taking over their cost for travel and accommodation to participate to partners meetings and activities. They cannot cover any other cost. Also, an Associated Partner cannot be the subconctrator/supplier of a partner.
Associated Partner can participate as observer, as knowledge provider, or for future uptake of the tested model. They can indeed contribute through professional exchange, stakeholder dialogue etc.
