National Activities
- 1. Is there funding for EO activities available in your country? Yes
- If yes, specify the case(s).Yes-for infrastructure developmentYes- for R&D
- Please specify
Formally funds are available through programs such as H2020 or other, but there is little drawing financial capacity which is mainly due to low performing intellectual capacity.
