The Free State of Thuringia supports the state's universities with research-related new buildings, extensions, conversions and expansions in university construction (HSB) and with their necessary research-related building equipment (GEE).

The subject of the funding of research-related infrastructure projects at the state's universities from ERDF 2021 - 2027 funds are project-related expenditure actually incurred and relate to

• research-related new buildings, extensions, conversions and extensions to university buildings (HSB)
• their necessary, research-related building equipment (GEE) incurred in the procurement and connection of equipment and initial equipment (general and special equipment)

Eligible expenditure is therefore project-related expenditure incurred by the universities for planning and implementation or expenditure for planning and procurement.

They receive funding as an allocation of up to 90% of the eligible expenditure from EU and state funds and contribute 10% as their own share of the funding.
