Being awarded a Horizon Europe grant means one thing from a legal perspective: signing the GA. However, unlike many other contracts, the GA is a contract fixed by the EC and it cannot be changed. In other words, it is a ‘take it or leave it’ kind of contract. Therefore, it is imperative to fully understand what this GA entails and what might be its effects on your organisation when signing this contract. Another important aspect is the relation between the GA and DoA, which is based on the original proposal, and can be refined during the Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) process.

Our training breaks this contract into elements, provides practical explanations and insights and shares best practices for the GAP. Another key part of the training is understanding the DoA and how, what and when can be adjusted in the DoA, during the GAP or during the project execution.

Note that this training does not intend to provide legal advice and does not substitute such advice.
