Additional Information
2. Estimated costs IBM has declared the financial support it provides to all networks, trade associations, coalitions and think-tanks that assist IBM in representing itself to the European Institutions - whether or not these organizations have themselves registered as part of the Transparency Register. With respect to direct representation costs IBM has identified the individuals who have a responsibility to represent IBM to the European Institutions and the percentage of the time they spend in direct representation of IBM's interests. 3. Amount and source of funding IBM has been a long-term participant in collaborative European research projects, through Horizon Europe and the earlier Framework Programmes, with hundreds of partners across Europe. For examples of these projects see: https://www.research.ibm.com/haifa/EUProjects.shtml The financial information provided concerning Grants covers the amount received from the European Union by IBM entities except the IBM Research Zurich Lab, which is separately listed in the Transparency Register under ID 590598523223-68. Due to the size and complexity of IBM operations across Europe and multiple touch points with the EU institutions, IBM has not compared these figures with what is included in any of its otherwise publicly available financial information.
