Companies and R&D organisations: 3-month window to apply for work or tech development grants

Royal Decree CNU/57/2026 amends Article 6.1 of Royal Decree CNU/692/2019, extending eligibility to individuals and research organisations for work or tech development grants, with a three-month adaptation period from entry into force.

In 2 key points

  1. Funding must include clear criteria on hiring for R&D projects (art. 6.1)
  2. Three-month period to revise selection criteria (art. 6.1)

How it affects those involved

Institutions must revise hiring criteria to include R&D projects; failure to do so may result in loss of funding access. Researchers in funded projects will see changes to their contract terms.
