Aides d'Etat à la Recherche, au Développement et à l'Innovation dans le cadre des programmes Airbus
La Plate-forme aéronautique fédérale qui est constituée par le SPF Economie et le SPP Politique scientifique soutient la participation de l'industrie belge aux programmes aéronautiques Airbus. Les coûts de développement ou "Non Recurring Costs" (NRC) qui accompagnent de tels programmes peuvent être très élevés. La Plate-forme aéronautique fédérale finance ces coûts par des avances remboursables, conformément à la réglementation européenne.
Au sein de cette plate-forme, la DG Recherche & Spatial du SPP Politique scientifique (Belspo) est responsable des aspects scientifiques et techniques.
Les projets peuvent être soutenus selon l'un des scénarios de financement proposés.
Staatssteun voor Onderzoek, Ontwikkeling en Innovatie in het kader van Airbus-programma’s
Het Federaal luchtvaartplatform dat een samenwerking is tussen de FOD Economie en de POD Wetenschapsbeleid steunt de Belgische luchtvaartindustrie voor haar deelname aan de Airbus-programma’s. De ontwikkelingskosten of "Non Recurring Costs" (NRC) die gepaard gaan met dergelijke programma's kunnen immers zeer hoog oplopen. Het Federaal luchtvaartplatform, financiert deze kosten via terugbetaalbare voorschotten in overeenstemming met de Europese regelgeving.
Binnen dit platform is de DG Onderzoek & Ruimtevaart van de POD Wetenschapsbeleid (Belspo) verantwoordelijk voor de wetenschappelijke en technische aspecten.
De projecten kunnen worden gesteund volgens een van de voorgestelde financieringsscenario’s.
Er is momenteel geen open oproep tot het indienen van projecten.
