Notes:

70 projects will be established and implemented on a rolling basis during 2002-2005. Cost per project is GBP 41 000 over 18months duration (although annual cost is approx GBP 29 000 ~ as some aspects are pro-rata and others not). The GBP 41 000 per project is paid in quarterly instalments over the 18month period. Therefore, total expenditure for the overall FUSION scheme of 70 projects varies each year — depending on how many projects have been established on a rolling basis and the number of cumulative projects in any one year.

Total funding element for 70 projects over 4 years = GBP 2 870 000. This represents 60 % of the total project cost with the remaining 40 % attributed by the participating enterprises

Maximum aid intensity

Up to a maximum of GBP 29 000 assistance per project per annum representing 60 % aid intensity

Date of implementation

Proposed scheme to run for 4 years from date of approval.

Individual companies will be eligible for assistance for a maximum of 18 months

Duration of scheme or individual aid award

Scheme will run until 2005

Objective of aid

The objective of the aid is to train high-calibre graduates in knowledge and technology transfer between industry and academia as well as general business management, with a view to preparing them for future senior management. The training is general as it is generic to all participating graduates and provides skills which are transferable across industry
