This 3-day training course will help you ensure that the day-to-day bookkeeping as well as the periodic and financial reports of your first Horizon Europe and last H2020 projects are sound and fully conform with the requirements of the programme rules. Financial changes between Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe will be introduced in detail.
Experience Europa Media's unique "learning-by-doing" approach – listen to presentations in the morning, then use your newly-acquired knowledge during the workshops:
• Horizon Europe Financial Rules
Introducing the financial rules from the very basics to the most advanced issues using a practical, real-life approach.
Prepare yourself, because you will make a lot of notes.
• Workshop: Financial Management and Reporting
Discover the well-known and utterly unique workshop of Europa Media. Participants will receive a package consisting of
timesheets, salary slips, invoices, contracts, per-diem certificates, and mission reports for a virtual Horizon Europe
project. They will then have to calculate the eligible costs and submit a financial statement. Comparison with H2020
will be fully integrated.
• EC Audits
Participants will be briefed on the EC financial audit process. Financial rules and bottlenecks, tricks, and mistakes to
focus on will be introduced.
• Workshop: EC Audit
You will become an auditor for a day! Participants in small groups will perform a financial audit of a virtual Horizon
Europe /H2020 project based on the documentation provided by us.

Who we are
Europa Media has been supporting public and private organisations to develop successful project proposals and effectively manage projects under the EU's research and innovation programmes since FP5. Over the past 20+ years, our team has been directly involved in writing successful proposals and coordinating and managing projects under different EU programmes. Under Horizon 2020, we have been involved in over 30 projects as coordinators and partners. Our workshops and seminars are designed based on this direct experience we have from our own proposals and projects - we discuss and reflect on a lot of specific problems during these events. They are therefore quite hands-on with real-life examples and stories. This practical approach has attracted over 10,000 participants from all over the world in the past 17 years.
