What it does not test. Contracted, not disbursed: CORDIS records what the EU signed, not what has been paid or delivered. A grant is not a product, and sitting in the same consortium is co-membership, not a partnership. The figure is the EU contribution to the organisations this publication tracks, not the project total.
