Yes, for many projects, several funding instruments can be used simultaneously or in a complementary manner, such as a research tax credit alongside a grant scheme or a subsidised loan. However, cumulation rules and state aid ceilings apply, which determine whether a combination is permitted and up to what total funding ratio. The Funding Team specifically identifies instruments that can be combined and ensures that the cumulation complies with the permissible limits – because making full use of multiple programmes is often the key to realising a project’s full funding potential.
