Additional Information
Grant amounts are reported as total awarded amounts due to the multi‑annual nature of the funding and the lack of precise annual disbursement data. Information on public EU tenders is available through EU‑maintained databases. The figures reported for EU grants are based solely on publicly available information from the European Commission’s CORDIS database (Community Research and Development Information Service). Because many EU‑funded research and innovation projects span several years, the amounts disclosed cover both the current financial year and the most recently closed one. This ensures the figures accurately reflect public funding for ongoing multi‑year projects.
