Accurate personnel cost calculation remains one of the most complex and high-risk areas in EU-funded projects. While Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and other programmes share similar principles, important differences in eligibility rules often create confusion. Ensuring consistency and compliance across programmes requires both solid technical understanding and practical experience. 

The free webinar with Gábor Kitley will guide you through the most common challenges in personnel cost calculation, drawing on real-life examples from audits and project implementation. The session will highlight key differences across programmes, explain how to avoid frequent errors, and provide practical tips to strengthen your organisation’s financial management practices. 

By the end of the webinar, you will be able to: 

• Understand the core principles of calculating eligible personnel cost across major EU programmes; 

• Identify key differences between Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, and other schemes; 

• Recognise the most frequent calculation errors and audit risks; 

• Strengthen internal processes to reduce financial errors; 

Join this webinar to gain practical insights into one of the most critical financial aspects of EU projects, the personnel cost calculation!
