R&D Units - Financing 2020-2023

Expenses relating to institutional costs of participation in European and international infrastructures and networks can be charged under this heading. Example: annual fees for the R&D Unit's participation in national and international associations for the dissemination of scientific information or related to the research being carried out by the R&D Unit, and also 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 the institutional costs of participating in European and international infrastructures and networks. Costs arising from work meetings and/or conferences should be charged to Missions or Demonstration, Promotion and Dissemination, depending on the type of expenditure.

It is intended 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 charged.

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

In addition to the infrastructures provided by ESFRI, institutional costs can be presented for participation in other European and international networks.

It must be related to the objectives of the R&D Unit's funding, as with the other expenses to be charged to the funding.
