•  PPP (public private partnership) projects and related services (e.g. managing project proposals) such as:
•  EU FP7 and other European projects
•  European industry (consultancy services)
•  National research councils
• Fees
•  Association membership fees
•  Post-graduate school fees
• Events (e.g. conferences, workshops)
• Internet access to KMM-VIN databases
• Advertising on KMM-VIN internet
