CFLA Practical Research Grants (Latvia)
Applied research grants at 25–80% intensity for companies partnering with Latvian research institutions in RIS3 fields — the route for deeper R&D than a voucher covers.
About this grant
Administered by Latvia's Central Finance and Contracting Agency (CFLA), this program funds practical (applied) research projects carried out by scientific institutions with companies as cooperation partners. Support intensity ranges from 25% to 80% depending on the research character, cost type, and company size, with state budget co-financing alongside EU funds. Projects must fall within RIS3 smart-specialisation fields. For a company, this is the instrument for research deeper than an innovation voucher covers — for example, materials or process research with Riga Technical University — with the research institution as lead partner. The selection remains open until the end of 2026, while funding lasts.
