The European Commission have devised a plan to encourage the development of technologies for the sustainable development of the EU in line with their United Nations based SDG agendas. This includes many initiatives at different levels of funding.

RIA funding includes Research Innovation Action and is funded at the 100% rate to encourage scientists and engineers to try and solve particular problems that nobody would invest in.

IA funding is at a lower rate, typically 70% for Small to Medium Size Entities (SMEs), but 100% funding for not for profits. Here the Commission consider that the subject matter still requires development, but that the research quotient is lower.
