Help, I’m preparing a Horizon Europe Lump Sum proposal – Part 2: The proposal

Linde van Ittersum — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 11:28:27 +0000

Although the first pilots already stem from 2018, Lump Sum funding is introduced in mainstream European grants starting in the 2024 calls. In Research and Innovation Action proposals, this new type of funding replaces the funding based on actual costs. The Lump Sum funding scheme is designed to simplify reporting during project execution. While this new scheme will significantly decrease financial management workload during the project, it does mean that in the proposal development stage the project budget needs to be much more elaborate than before.
