FNR.LU Public Funding For Companies Andreea MONNAT
• Grants! • Application process and deadlines are public and very firm • More support for questions, policies/procedures, and more opportunities for personal contact and/or site visits • Areas of focus do not change that rapidly, so continual funding may be easier to predict • More likely to pay “all” project costs and/or cover indirect costs • “Common” application forms and prescribed formats to decrease re-learning appropriate content and form
• Lengthy proposal requirements and complex application, administration, and compliance processes • Often required institutional costsharing. • Reviewers may tend to favour established applicants • Difficulty in proposing new or high-risk approaches to a problem
Why are PPPs interesting for companies?
