Åben sektion, Documents

When applying for funding for an international project with Innovation Fund Denmark, a number of documentations are required. Below you can find documents not available through the online portal e-grant.

The Danish applicants will be invited, via e-grant, when their file has opened. This usually happens within a month after the application deadline. The invitation includes the task of uploading a pdf version of the international application including budget and the following additional documents, where applicable.

No undertaking in difficulty
Declaration that the organisation does not hold the status of an undertaking in difficulty. This is a requirement for all applications from non-public enterprises and organisations.

SME-declaration
Declaration that the small- or medium sized enterprise (SME) fulfills the requirement for an SME. This is a requirement for all applications from an SME.

De minimis aid Compliance
As an alternative to investment rates under the State aid regulations, Danish SMEs can choose to be financed according to The European Commission’s de minimis regulation. If this is applied, the maximum investment for the SME in a three period is 200.000 €. Under de minimis regulation salary is calculated based on a fixed hourly rate of DKK 750 (approx. 100 €) per hour including overhead.  Other costs are calculated as actual costs without overhead. IFD‘s funding rates for de minimis are 60% for SMEs of the calculated cost for basic and industrial research and 33% for experimental research activities. This is a requirement for applicants wishing to apply under the de minimis rules.

Ability to co-finance
This form enables SMEs to calculates and document their ability to fund the project expenses, not covered by Innovation Fund Denmark. This is a requirement for all applications from SMEs.

Guidance for Gantt chart
There is no mandatory template for the Gantt chart, but the chart must fill the requirements described in the guidelines. This is a requirement for all projects granted funding.
