Projects

LEAPS members facilities receive funding through participation in various projects. Some projects are funded by the European Commission (part of the European Union), while others are nationally funded.

The EC-funded OSCARS project itself funds various (smaller scale) third-party projects through a "cascading grant" mechanism. A summary table is provided below, which shows those projects that impact PaNOSC, the science cluster in which LEAPS is represented.
