The European Commission have €32 Billion available for R&D funding in a wide range of technologies....
These grants are won in competition with other proposers and on average there is a 20% success rate in being granted funding, and it can cost a significant amount of money and resource to prepare and win a proposal. This is where an experienced practitioner can deliver major savings.
In the Framework 7 ( FP7 ) programme, small to medium sized companies are eligible to receive 75% of their costs back in grant and large organisations qualify for a 50% grant. Project management costs are refunded 100%
