Integrated projects

• IP = Internet Protocol• IP = Intellectual Property• IP = Integrated Projects


Integrated Projects• Clearly defined, ambitious

objectives and results• Integrate the critical mass of

resources needed to achieve high impact objectives

• EC contribution from 2 meuro to tens of meuro

• Duration 3-5 years, more if necessary

• Partners: minimum three from different countries, usually many more

• EC support “grant to the budget”• Paid as contribution to actual costs

– necessary for the project– own accounting definitions and practices– exclude indirect taxes etc
