The objectives of this course:

 

The budget presentation is an inseparable part of your Horizon Europe project. Reviewers refer to it during the project’s evaluation to assess the project’s implementation plan and see if the allocated resources are appropriate and justified to achieve the project’s goals. Needless to say, it is of paramount importance to ensure your budget is well planned, and its presentation is clear and consistent.

 

This course will walk you through the process of budget planning (during the pre-award phase) and budget execution (for the post-award phase) for your Horizon Europe project. Specifically, it spotlights important tips and insights gathered from our ongoing experience with EU funding, including lessons learned, and undocumented best practices.
