In August 2007 the SJU received an initial contribution of 10 million € from the two founding members for the start-up of the Joint Undertaking.

The other members are required to pay a minimum initial contribution of 10 million € within one year of their accession to the Joint Undertaking. This amount is reduced to 5 million € for members that subscribe to the Joint Undertaking within 12 months of its constitution.

For small or medium-sized enterprises this amount is reduced to 250.000 € regardless of when they become members.

Contributions in kind are possible. They will be examined on the basis of their value and their utility for carrying out the tasks of the Joint Undertaking and shall be specified in the membership agreements.
