INFRA
Full name: Developing the corporate research infrastructure and creating new research jobs (INFRA)
Description:
The INFRA programme (Developing the corporate research infrastructure and creating new research jobs) offers financial assistance for creating new R&D jobs. The programme does not finance human resources (wages, salaries), it enables the creation of jobs by providing a grant for procuring hardware and software - machinery, research equipment, computers, and software. Support is awarded to projects, therefore in every case there must be two projects running: the government-financed infrastructure establishment project and the long-term R&D project in which the equipment will be used by the new researchers
This is not directly a research programme - this is a meta-programme, i.e. one fostering long-term research. There is no topical scope: all R&D activities may be financed. Project duration is up to two years. Only individual business entities have the right to apply. Foreign entities are not eligible, but Hungarian branches of foreign entities are.
The call is closed by now for 2005.
Project duration: up to 2 years
Budget: for 2005, ca. EUR 5,2 million (HUF 1,3 billion)
