Contribution versus income from the EU Framework Programmes
Dutch contribution in % | Dutch revenues in % | |
FP4 (1994-1997) | 6,3 | 7 |
FP5 (1998-2001) | 6 | 6,7 |
FP6 (2002-2006) | 5,3 | 6,3 |
FP7 (2007-2013) | 5 | 7,4 |
H2020 (2014-2020) | 5,2 | 7,8 |
The Netherlands takes in 1.5 times more than it spends
The financial return Dutch researchers receive from the different EU Framework Programs exceeds the financial contribution of the Netherlands to the EU budget in each framework program (through the Multiannual Financial Frameworks). The share that the Netherlands receives from H2020 is 1.5 times greater than the Dutch investment. The upper figure also shows a decreasing proportion of the Netherlands to the EU Framework Programme budget, mainly due to the growth in the number of EU Member States.
