- Travel costs for project meetings
- Consumables
- Depreciation of Equipment (excluding costs for Pilot- and Demonstration installations) - Subcontracting R&D up to 50% of the costs of the Eurostars Project Partner responsible for the subcontracting. Subcontracting R&D is only funded, if a Swiss University or R&D Institution is the Subcontractor. If not, the subcontracting must be self-financed.
Non-eligible-costs are:
