-WHAT? Projects concerning. improved road safety and innovation

Application procedure

The grant of grants shall be sent to the Directoratedirectorate. Sweep time limits are being advertised at www.vejsektoren.dk under the cycling pool.

Conditions for grants

It is a condition for granting subsidies that it is a project whose implementation is dependent on this subsidy. The Directorates may obtain the necessary documentation for the benefit of the grant recipient.

The project activities covered by the subsidy must not be initiated until the action has been taken into force. Costs incurred before the date of commitments are not eligible for grant.

It is a condition for the award of grants that the applicant has cover for its own financing by the surrender of consent of grants for subsidies.

Project Collaboration

In the event that several parties want to collaborate on a project, the grants can either be searched jointly or split into separate projects.

If the Parties seek grants jointly, only one party shall act as the applicant. It is this applicant alone that is responsible for the implementation of the total project and constitutes the legal entity that must meet all requirements in the award of grants. If the Parties seek grants as separate sub-projects, each Party shall act as a self-employed person.

The amount of the grant and the financing of the project

The amount of the grant is given in the signing letter and can be a maximum of this amount regardless of any project changes.

The corruption of the project in the beneficiary will be the absolute maximum size of the grant. If the project achieves savings in relation to the original budget, the subsidy will be reduced so that the subsidy is not exceeding the appropriation rate.

Private beneficiaries shall be in cases where a subsidy is granted on more than 50%. to a plant project, obligated to the applicable contract rules, cf. § 2 in the tender notice 1) .
