Partnership and funding
As the Panel wants to remain fully independent, funding is being sought from a wide range of academic institutions, international foundations, international organizations, and philanthropists. The careful selection of institutional funders as well as the diversification of funding sources ensures that the Panel operates and develops its activities without interference.
A funding plan has been prepared for the 2024-2027 period to meet the progressive budget needs of the Panel (from €M1.5 to €M2.5 at the end of the period) that are required to be meaningful and impactful.
The Panel welcomes funding contributions for:
- General support of the Panel infrastructure
- Thematic activities of the Panel
- Main/specific events
- IT development, communication, outreach
It is expected to obtain this financial support from a variety of sources and/or contributions. All levels of contributions are welcome as the Panel is an inclusive collection intelligence for action initiative.
All financial contributions will be recognized with logo and mention on the IPSP website as well as sponsored publications and events. Independently audited financial reporting will be provided annually and will be available to each financial partner based on a solid analytical accounting system. All financial reporting will be approved by the IPSP Coordination Council.
