Terms for funding is harmonized between authorities

In simple terms, the condition means that we have three different levels for how indirect costs can be eligible for support.

1. Universities and university colleges may make mark-ups for indirect costs according to the full cost principle they apply.
2. The following organisations may claim actual indirect costs up to a maximum of 45 percent of their eligible personnel costs if the project is carried out in the non-economic activity.
   
   Research organizations that are:
   - limited liability companies or trading companies where the state directly or indirectly exercises a legally controlling influence.
   - foundations in which the government appoints one or more board members
   
   Government agencies (other than universities and university colleges) that are instructed to conduct their own research.
3. Other beneficiary may incur actual indirect costs up to an amount equivalent to a maximum of 30 percent of their eligible personnel costs.
