Excluding a partner from the consortium (September 2024)

No coordinator creates a consortium with the idea that they will have to exclude a partner, but as there is no such thing as perfect project implementation, sometimes we find ourselves in the situation when we need to take this difficult step of terminating the participation of one of our partners. 

 

Topics covered: 

• When to consider excluding a partner? 

• What are the necessary steps before this decision? 

• What are the technical steps of starting the process of termination? 

• Possible obstacles and mistakes in the process? 

• Communication with the Project Officer. 

 

Who is this webinar for?   

This webinar is for anyone who is currently implementing or planning to be a coordinator of a Horizon Europe project. Even if you have a great and cooperative consortium, there are several factors that can lead to partners exclusion and it’s important to be prepared. 

Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst – don't let the procedures of partner exclusion surprise you and halt your implementation!
