R&D Units - Funding 2020-2023

This heading may be used to cover expenses relating to institutional costs of participation in European and international infrastructures and networks. Example: annual membership fees for the R&D Unit's participation in national and international associations for the dissemination of scientific information or related to ongoing research by the R&D Unit, as well as the acquisition of access to scientific databases, insofar as this is considered institutional participation in an international scientific information network.

This heading was created to accommodate institutional costs of participation in European and international infrastructures and networks. Costs arising from working meetings and/or conferences should be charged to the Mission or Demonstration, Promotion, and Dissemination headings, depending on the type of expenditure.

It is expected to be institutional in nature. Individual quotas are not eligible.

Although it is institutional, there must be a relationship with the R&D Unit to which this expense is being allocated.

This situation is not covered, because only institutional costs are eligible.

In addition to the infrastructure provided for in ESFRI, institutional costs may be incurred for participation in other European and international networks.

There must be a link to the objectives of the R&D Unit's funding, as with all other expenses to be charged to the funding.
