Members Obligations: Project Fee & In Kind Contribution

Why these obligations?

39

We, the FCH sector, have the privilege to have a joint undertaking:1. A substantial and protected EU budget.2. Right to define the funding priorities though the members

of Hydrogen Europe and HE Research.3. A dedicated structure focused on the successful

deployment of our sector: i.e. the FCH JU.

This privilege comes with corresponding obligations set up by EU regulation1. The sector has to demonstrate a level of investment through

I. in kind contribution in projectsII. In kind additional activities (IKAA).

2. The sector has to contribute to the administrative costs of the Joint Undertaking.

What are in kind contributions in projects?• They correspond to the share of the costs

incurred in a FCH JU projects that is not reimbursed by the FCH JU (because the funding rate is lower than 100%)

• They are auytomatically calculated and do not require any additional action from members.

What are in kind additional activities(IKAA)?• Members are required to indicate additional

activities, outside of FCH JU projects, fostering the development of the FCH sector. Concretely, members indicate planned activity at end of year N-1 and report actual activity at start of year n+1.

• Currently IKAA is exceeding the objective, but efforts have to continue to secure renewal of theFCH JU partnership.

What is the project fee?

The project fee is the mechanism to fulfill the second obligationThe fairest way is:• A fee paid by all participants in FCH JU

projects • A fee proportional to the received

support • Project fee equals 4% of the FCH JU

grant paid by all participants
