Funding of construction measures for scientific institutions

The funding of construction measures for scientific institutions in Salzburg offers educational institutions, public bodies, and non-profit organizations a financial grant for the new construction, expansion, or renovation of laboratories, lecture halls, and research buildings. The goal is to create a modern infrastructure that ensures contemporary research and teaching conditions and thus sustainably supports scientific progress in the region. This funding in the area of research, innovation, and infrastructure has been available indefinitely since June 6, 2013, and can be applied for at any time by universities, universities of applied sciences, as well as other research institutions.

Prerequisites for a grant include compliance with the General Guidelines for Funding of the State of Salzburg, a government resolution if required, and a clearly defined funding purpose serving the public interest. Additionally, proof of own contribution as well as adherence to EU competition and state aid law are necessary. For the application, among other documents, statutes or bylaws, the current budget and the latest financial statement, a detailed financing plan, as well as written declarations regarding inspection and data protection are required. Department 1 "Economy, Tourism and Municipalities" of the Salzburg State Government supports applicants throughout the entire process and provides all relevant forms as well as the necessary guidelines. The open application period allows for flexible project planning and thus supports a future-oriented development of the scientific infrastructure in the state of Salzburg.
