About the call for proposals
A Milestone Project is targeted towards completing the next, most critical milestone phase to clarify key questions essential for determining which course to pursue.
This call is targeted towards proposals for new projects that have not previously been awarded commercialisation funding from the Research Council.
This call for proposals is a collaborative effort between the FORNY2020, BIOTEK2021, NANO2021, IKTPLUSS, TRANSPORT, MAROFF, BIONÆR og SAMANSVAR programmes.
The part of this call for proposals that involves support to start-up companies constitutes a funding scheme that is notified to the EFTA Surveillance Authority. Funding awarded under this scheme is granted in accordance with Article 22 of the General Block Exemption Regulation for state aid (Commission Regulation (EU) No 651/2014 of 17 June 2014).
This funding scheme is to be practised in compliance with the EEA state aid rules. This means that conditions and concepts are to be interpreted in keeping with corresponding conditions and concepts in the state aid rules. In the event of conflict between the text of the call and the state aid rules, the latter will have precedence. The text of the call may be adjusted for this same reason.
