Under this instrument, successful South African FP7 participants which do not receive full funding from the European Commission for their FP7 project costs - as is possible under the FP7 funding rules - can apply for a strategic co-investment in their participation and receive funding for part of the remaining projects costs from DST. Applicants must submit a comprehensive application detailing, for example, the strategic significance of the project from a national R&D perspective. All requests should be drafted using the FP7 co-investment funding application template.
