Reorganize funding programs and create application documents
- Reorganized funding program structure: moved standalone .md files into organized directories with PROGRAM_INFO.md and APPLICATION_SCOPE.md
- Created budget files for selected priority programs:
  * EIC Accelerator: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€1.815M)
  * ZIM: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€465k)
  * DBU: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€152.5k)
  * LIFE Programme: budget_breakdown.csv and budget_justification.md (€1.815M)
- Created team CV files for all selected programs (CV_Damir_Mukimov.md)
- Added application documents structure:
  * funding/applications/budget/ - Master budget files and templates
  * funding/applications/team_cvs/ - Master CV and team expertise summary
- Updated FUNDING_GAP_ANALYSIS.md to reflect completed documents
- Added APPLICATION_REQUIREMENTS_REPORT.md with detailed requirements
- Added PREPARATION_PRIORITY.md for application preparation workflow

# EU Innovation Fund (Small-Scale Projects)
## Overview
The Innovation Fund provides grants for first-of-a-kind commercial demonstration of low-carbon technologies, with potential application to innovative circular processes.
## Managing Body
CINEA (EU Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency)
## Funding Type
Grants for first-of-a-kind commercial demonstration of low-carbon technologies
## Funding Amount
- €2.57.5M per project
- For "small" projects with CAPEX under €7.5M
- Up to 60% of relevant costs
## Deadlines
- Calls typically yearly
- 3rd small-scale call (2023): March 2023 (closed)
- Future calls expected under Net-Zero Industry framework
## Eligibility
- Companies or consortia in EU/EEA countries
## Thematic Fit
While focused on GHG reduction, supports innovative circular processes that significantly cut emissions:
- Industrial waste reuse
- Process efficiency improvements
- Resource optimization technologies
## Relevance to City Resource Graph
- Industrial symbiosis platforms that reduce emissions
- Waste-to-resource technologies
- Energy-efficient resource matching systems
