One of the main factors contributing to an increase in the participation of enterprises in European projects is based on reducing the risk they assume during the elaboration process of proposals.
Within this framework, it is necessary to have a grant programme in order to co-finance part of the costs during the preparation of proposals. This programme will contribute in the medium term to a sustained increase of their participation in R&D & innovation projects, and therefore in the funds obtained.
In this grant framework, two types of supporting activities can be distinguished: grants for the technical drawing up of proposals, and grants for travel and sustained cost related to the elaboration of proposals.
