Project preparation services for consortiums

Project preparation services for non-member organizations

Our project preparation services are free for CLIC owner organizations and associate partners, who are paying the yearly service fee. Success fee applies to all organizations, but organizations paying an annual fee get a 50% discount.

If you are not paying the yearly service fee, the project preparation fees apply to you once you are a part of CLIC coordinated project preparation and the project application writing process has started.

In 2024, we are introducing a new pricing model for the project preparation work, and different fees for Business Finland financed projects and EU Horizon financed projects.
