In 2015, a coherent portfolio of competitive calls was implemented by the NRDI Office to facilitate the purpose-oriented and value-creating use of RDI funds coming from European sources and the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund. Through the portfolio of competitive calls established according to strategic considerations, the RDI funds are awarded based on strict assessment criteria. These calls promote researcher excellence programmes, the developments of innovative undertakings, the research-industry cooperations as well as the implementation of innovative ideas.
The NRDI Fund Programme Strategy for the year 2019 has been endorsed by Government decree 1622/2019. (X.31.).
The timing and the budget of European-financed non-refundable and refundable RDI schemes under the EDIOP (GINOP) and CCHOP (VEKOP) programmes have been approved by the Government within the Annual Development Framework Programme, upon the proposal of the NRDI Office. Pursuant to the Government Decree 106/2018. (VI. 15.) on the amendment of certain Government Decrees related to development policy due to the Government being restructured, the 2nd priorities of the EDIOP/GINOP and CCHOP/VEKOP (i.e. research, technology development and innovation) operational programmes are commanded to the political responsibility of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (MIT) instead of the National Research, Development and Innovation Office as from 16 June 2018.
The chart below shows the calls for proposals and their budget relating to the main target areas, broken down by the sources of funding and the years:
- Corporate/Business RDI
- Excellence programmes for institutions
- Development of research infrastructure
- Excellence programmes for researchers, and
- Promotion of international cooperation programmes.
