Frequently asked questions
Does this aid fund the project directly or support the search for European funds?
The scheme concerns seeking European funding and its purpose is: enabling businesses to learn about opportunities to take part in European projects, analyse how European projects fit into their development strategy or take part in a specific project. Check whether it funds a support service, studies or the project’s costs directly; do not confuse aid for seeking funds with a European grant obtained.
Which applicants can be supported?
The catalogue mentions: businesses (very small businesses, SMEs and mid-caps) based in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Check the applicant’s status, area, size and the European programme targeted.
What should I prepare before applying?
Prepare the project note, the targeted European programme, the timetable, the budget forecast and any support quotes. Ask the funder to confirm the eligible costs and services.
Does obtaining this aid guarantee European funding?
No. Support for preparing or seeking funding does not guarantee that the European programme will accept the application. The two decisions and their criteria must be considered separately.
