Tips from our experts

Get familiar with the Financial Regulation publication applicable to the general budget of the Union from July 2018. This document lays down rules on implementing the Union budget, including the rules on grants, in Title VIII. This is how we know what is meant under double-funding or that non-recoverable VAT is an eligible cost.

Then, there is the Horizon Europe Rules for Participation which has many paragraphs that start with “By way of derogation from Article XYZ of the Financial Regulation ….” These tell much more about exceptions and specific rules. This is how we can know, e.g., that income generated by the exploitation of the results shall not be considered receipts of the action.

Q&A from our participants - finance

Q: Why is there no end date for continuous reporting?

A: You are bound by the Grant Agreement to do your best to exploit and disseminate your results up to 4 years after the end of your project - this is also known as the best effort obligation. Even after your project is officially closed, the continuous reporting is still open for you to report on any exploitation and dissemination developments.
