In this sense, the IKUR Strategy's operating model is a risk-sharing venture between the Government and the participating research groups and actors, insofar as the resources granted must be topped up with their own resources or access to other sources of funding to which these excellent research groups and actors are accustomed to successfully accessing on a regular basis.
