CRT is partly financed by an annual basic grant funded by an appropriation for Bornholm-related projects under the Finance and Appropriation Act. The Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (VTU) has concluded an agreement with the Regional Municipality of Bornholm regarding the use of this grant and CRT fulfils this agreement on behalf of the municipality. The main purpose of the grant is to secure the carrying out of research-based project activities which can contribute to the regional development on Bornholm. However, the main part of the Center’s consultancy and development activities are entirely or partly carried through due to external financing.
