About this good practice
Support programme focused on industrial research and experimental development projects with outputs in form of new products, materials, technologies, services
The main aim of the programme is to gain new knowledge needed for the development of new products, materials, technologies and services through the implementation of industrial research projects and experimental development. An essential element of the project is the novelty of the solution and its market application.
The Applicants apply for financial support of their projects. Funded could be personnel costs (salaries and insurance premiums of researchers, technicians and other technical support staff); costs of tools, instruments and equipment acquired from third parties in the form of depreciation of tangible fixed assets contract research costs; costs of R&D consulting services; additional overhead and other operating costs, including material and delivery costs.
- Implementation of collective research projects within the IraSme international network are supported. This allows the applicants from other partner countries to receive funding for the international project through their own national or regional funding instruments. This is a very useful add-on for the research projects to connect to the broader European research area or even to business and research organization outside of EU. The consortium can be formed by one or more business entities and research organizations.

The programme supports also the cooperation between SMEs and large enterprises which can be applicants or their partners. Very important element of the programme for the applicants and their partners is so called “effective cooperation” which means the cooperation of at least two independent parties in order to exchange knowledge or technology or to achieve a common goal based on a division of labour, where the parties jointly determine the scope of the cooperation project, contribute to its implementation and share its risks and results.
The programme allows SMEs to bring to the market innovative products also in the area of Industry 4.0, especially in the areas of advanced manufacturing.
