EU contribution to research project participations

The register (2007 to 2027) holds 22,367 entries. This explorer shows 18,125 of them, 84% of the "eu contribution" amount: the recipients with an enterprise number that are legal entities. Not shown: 2 of natural persons or sole traders, 3,841 without an enterprise number, 399 with a number no longer (or never) in the open KBO data.

The contribution covers the whole project, dated by its start year; it is paid out over the project's life.

How these figures are counted

Every night Checked reads five public registers: the Flemish subsidy register, the subsidy cadastre of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the federal government's financial transfers (FPS BOSA), the European Commission's Financial Transparency System and the CORDIS research database. The figures are as the register publishes them; Checked adds them up per recipient, year and programme within one register.

The registers do not count the same money: awarded and paid subsidies, payments, invoiced transfers, attributed shares of EU commitments and contributions to research projects. That is why this page shows one register at a time and no total across registers.

Only legal entities with an enterprise number appear in the lists. Natural persons and sole traders are not shown, even where the register states their number; they do count in the coverage above.
