Funding for research, development and innovation – How to see things more clearly?

The purpose of this guide is to help project sponsors identify the funds best suited to their particular circumstances. The guide will review the various existing Internet sites and information points and explain to what extent several European funds may be combined.

The Commission has launched a public consultation on the draft guide, running until the end of April. Later on, this guide may lead to the creation of an Internet website. A reminder that, as part of "RegioStars 2009", Europe’s regions are being invited to deliver project applications supported by the European Union in the fields of research, development and innovation (deadline for applications: 15 July). These projects may be used subsequently to enhance the website and demonstrate how European funding is being used in these fields.
