IDEK Launches Public Consultation on New Funding Regulations

The Foundation for Research and Innovation (IDEK) is launching a public consultation on the new Regulations for Participation in its funding programs. The new regulations will be implemented through a new digital system for submitting and managing projects, which is expected to be operational in 2027. The most significant changes include the use of lump sum amounts, standardized staff rates, the possibility of participation by Associated Entities, and the establishment of the role of 'Project Manager' for projects over €150,000. IDEK invites stakeholders to study the draft and submit their proposals via an online questionnaire by March 18, 2026.
