Additional Information

Some ELI projects are run jointly with partner organisations, which may contribute financial or in-kind resources to those projects. In addition, project-specific funding has been granted by the European Union in supporting ELI’s work. ELI also benefits from financial support from the City of Vienna. ELI likewise receives event sponsorship from partners and stakeholders for selected conferences and activities. While ELI is an independent membership-based organisation, many members of its project teams (including reporters, advisers and observers) contribute on a voluntary or pro bono basis. Their work is therefore not reflected in the financial data provided but is essential to the implementation of ELI’s mission. These factors should be taken into account when interpreting the financial information submitted, as ELI’s budget does not fully capture the significant in-kind, voluntary and partner-contributed resources that support the Institute’s activities.
