Usually any investment in capital equipment is not funded, but in the case of the joint research it might be that a milestone in one of the research activities which is necessary to continue with further activities to improve the installation could be “minor capital investment”. The consortium has to prove that this kind of result derives directly from the consortium's research activities and that users will directly benefit from that result within the scope of the project. The investment can only be minor in relation to the capital investment of the installation itself.
