National eligibility criteria and funding
In addition to the transnational rules and procedures laid out in the previous section, there may be specific Funding Agencies’ rules (e.g. Funding Agencies’ eligibility criteria for certain organisations, co-funding requirements, national/regional evaluation rules, submission of additional documents or information on a national/regional platform, etc.). Please note that there are also limitations regarding the types of research or innovation activities that different Funding Agencies are able to support.
It is strongly recommended to check these national/regional rules with the contact person at the respective Funding Agency before submitting a proposal.
If approved for funding, funding arrangements are made directly between the project partners and the national/regional Funding Agencies.
National eligibility criteria and funding
Applicants are encouraged to contact the relevant contact person at the national/regional funding organisation with questions concerning the specific eligibility criteria.
Funding arrangements are made directly between the project partners and the national/regional Funding Partner to which they have applied.
Payments to project partners are handled by the national/regional Funding Partners. As the national/regional funding arrangements may not become effective simultaneously, the project partners may not receive the instalments at the same time.
Webinars
The Call Secretariat will arrange webinars to provide potential applicants with information about the call. These will be published on the DUT Partnership website.
