Time: 11:00 CET
Trainer: Krisztina Toth Description: If you have been scrolling through the Horizon Europe calls for proposals recently, you may have noticed that more and more of them have Lump Sum instead of Action Grant Budget-Based as the type of funding. The shift is visible, and the Programme will be going towards Lump Sum calls more and more in the future. This means that the budgeting we are used to needs to change: we need more details, more planning and definitely more time. As Lump Sum is here to stay, this webinar is meant to introduce how we approach budgeting in this type of funding, how the table looks like and what we need to pay attention to.

Time: 11:00 CET
Trainers: Gabor Kitley and Gabriella Lovasz
Description: It’s been more than 4 years since the launch of Horizon Europe, yet the proper personnel cost allocations and reporting rules are a mystery (misery?) to many. Nevertheless, beyond mystery lies a logic (a weird one, though), that must be followed by all Beneficiaries. Significantly different from the one we got used to in Horizon 2020, so we all have to change the way we used to do the math.
Join us to hear our top tips for making your personnel cost reporting and allocation fully up to the Horizon Europe rules. We will introduce our calculation wizards to ensure that your reports are flawless, and reimbursement is maximised!

Time: 11:00 CET, Wednesday
Trainers: Ömer Ceylan and Gabriella Lovasz
Description: The best way to improve your proposal writing skills and your success rate is to actually write and submit proposals. The second best way is to learn from the evaluators' feedback – both positive and negative.
Join us to hear our take on the Commission's and the evaluators’ expectations on the different sections of a Horizon Europe proposal: from objectives to methodology, ambition to impact, dissemination to IP management, work plan to horizontal aspects – we will showcase what the evaluators criticised and how they down-scored proposals on the award criteria. Based on these, we will provide tips on how to fix those potential shortcomings in your upcoming proposals.

Register now. | | | 📅 Short term, mid-term and long-term impact KPIs - How do we define the right KPIs in our Horizon Europe proposal? | | Date: 13 December, Friday
Time: 11:00 CET
Trainers: Jelena Kajganovic
Description: After the first 4 years of Horizon Europe, impact still seems to be the most challenging part of the proposal. Simultaneously, the evaluators are getting even more strict when it comes to what constitutes a good impact section.
One thing is for sure – there is no successful impact section without the correct KPIs. How do we find the numbers that are ambitious enough to convince the evaluators, yet realistic enough to be in line with our consortium capacities and activities we plan to implement?
Join us to hear some tips, tricks, guidelines, as well as examples from real proposals and let’s decipher together what the Commission considers to be convincing KPIs that are in line with their expectations.
