Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF)
In addition to direct financial support to participants in RTD actions, the
Community will improve their access to private sector finance by contributing
financially to the 'Risk-Sharing Finance Facility' (RSFF) established by the
European Investment Bank (EIB).
The Community contribution to RSFF will be used, by the Bank, in accordance with eligibility criteria set out in the Work Programme 'Co-operation' (Annex 4). RSFF support is not conditional on promoters securing grants resulting from calls for proposals described herein, although the combination of grants and RSFF-supported financing from EIB is possible.
The use of the Community Contribution from the Specific Programme 'Cooperation' will be on a 'first come, first served' basis and will not be constrained by the proportional contribution of Themes.
