Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant restriction

Micro, small, medium and large enterprises and enterprise consortia may apply. The applicant must have its registered seat/branch (or sole trader residence) in Lubuskie for at least six months before application. Type I partners may be enterprises or R&D service institutions; Type II partners may be enterprises.

Eligible project scope

Two mutually exclusive project types: modular R&D for dual-use innovation, or investment for dual-use. Projects must develop products, services, technologies or processes for both civilian and defence uses.

Other condition

Beneficiary personnel costs are eligible under R&D aid; Partner personnel costs are eligible only under de minimis. In the call, an SME Partner may incur only de-minimis expenditure, and a non-SME Partner may incur no eligible expenditure.

Other condition

For R&D aid, the call table gives industrial-research maxima (with maximum premium) of micro/small 70%/80%, medium 60%/75%, and non-SME 50%/65%; experimental-development maxima are 45%/60%, 35%/50%, and 25%/40%, respectively. A premium of up to 15 percentage points may apply only under stated collaboration/dissemination/location conditions, with the applicable overall cap and aid rules. The table is not a single default project rate.

Other condition

For eligible regional investment aid, the regulation states maximum programme contribution of 60% of eligible costs for micro/small enterprises, 50% for medium and 40% for large enterprises; investment-aid and project-module conditions apply.

Staff monthly hours, maximum

276

Per person across all EU-funded projects and activities funded from other sources, including own funds, regardless of engagement form. The annex includes annual leave and sickness in the limit and excludes certain other absences; verification is required before engagement and throughout the eligible-pay period.

Staff restriction

Any person performing project/R&D management, supervision or coordination tasks—or enterprise-level management/supervision/coordination—must have remuneration classified as indirect cost, even if employed; the same person may not be accounted under both direct and indirect costs.

Catalogue budget

PLN 10,000,000

Figure as listed by the provider. Whether it is the total allocation or a per-project cap is unverified unless a reviewed condition says so.

Call allocation

PLN 10,000,000

Shared EFRR call allocation; not a per-project grant. The project eligible-cost cap is a distinct limit.

Eligible cost

Direct project-personnel remuneration may cover research, technical and other auxiliary employees only for the scope and period they are employed in direct R&D work, and only when employed under an employment contract by the Beneficiary or project Partner. The rule is specific to direct R&D personnel; it does not assert named job titles, qualifications, headcount, FTE, duration or salary amount.

Eligible cost

Eligible employment remuneration includes gross salary and employer costs required by law; specified employment-contract components also include non-jubilee rewards/bonuses and annual additional remuneration subject to the cited eligibility guidelines. No numeric salary ceiling or reference rate is given.

Eligible cost limit

15

Only external-provider training for employees and managers to operate infrastructure funded in the project under the cited cross-financing provision; cost is capped at 15% of total eligible project expenditure and must be incurred after application submission. This is not a salary/personnel allowance.

Project cost, maximum

PLN 5,000,000

Maximum eligible project expenditure for either project type; not the same as the call allocation and not a promise of grant amount.

• Generic personnel category explicitly listed by the call cost guide; funding is limited to direct R&D tasks and the eligible employment-contract period. No specific position or qualification is inferred.

  Other role · Staff cost the grant can fund

  Employed by Beneficiary or project Partner under an employment contract and engaged in direct R&D. Aggregate 276-hour monthly limit applies across all engagements.
