Contributions overview
Variable Fee and C-share for ECSEL-JU projects
Variable Fee
ARTEMIS Industry Association pays - together with AENEAS and EPoSS - part of the administrative costs of ECSEL Joint Undertaking. The other part is paid by the European Commission. ARTEMIS Industry Association finances its contribution to these costs through a so-called 'Variable Fee'. See revised Articles of Association (AoA) and the Bylaws (these documents replace the former ARTEMIS-IA Supplementary Agreement, ASA).
The Variable Fee for ECSEL-JU project partners is reduced for members of ARTEMIS-IA. The non-member project partners of ARTEMIS-IA will be invited by ARTEMIS Industry Association to become member.
The Variable Fee is calculated based on the maximum possible funding, which is the maximum funding that you may receive from the Funding Authority and/or from the National Funding Authorities, as specified in the PAB Decision.
The invoices of the Variable Fee are addressed directly to the representatives of the partners in project consortia. The Variable Fee will only be invoiced after the Grant Agreement has been signed by ECSEL-JU or the European Commission.
More information and a calculation example can be found in Variable Fee details.
The Variable Fee for ECSEL-JU project partners is:
| Year | ARTEMIS-IA member | DoA signer* |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 3.2% | 3.3% |
| 2016 | 2.4% | 3.0% |
| 2017 | 2.0% | 2.5% |
| 2018 | 1.8% | 2.1% |
| 2019 | 1.8% | 2.1% |
| 2020 | 1.8% | 1.9% |
| 2021 | 1.8% | 1.9% |
* In line with the new EU Financial Regulations, as of Call 2020, ARTEMIS-IA will no longer accept new Declaration of Acceptances (DoA) for ECSEL projects. However, for ECSEL projects up to and including the 2019 Calls, participants can sign an ECSEL DoA.
C-share – for C-members only
Please be aware that the contribution fee of non-members in an ECSEL-JU project is to be covered by the ARTEMIS Industry Association C-members in the project, as defined in the Articles of Association (AoA) and the Bylaws. To ensure that the contribution is borne fairly by all partners, we encourage you to ensure that all non-member partners in your project become a member.
