Funded Projects

All IBEC's groups coordinate or are involved in competitively funded projects. Funding sources include the EU's Framework Programmes, national or regional governmental grants, private foundations and industrial partnerships. In 2010 there was a 15% increase in the number of projects applied for by IBEC groups.
