Whether you're just starting your journey as an EU project manager or you're a seasoned expert looking to sharpen your approach, understanding the ins and outs of technical reviews in Horizon Europe is essential.

Reviews are not just bureaucratic check-ins—they are valuable tools to ensure your project is on track, aligned with objectives, and delivering real impact.

This session will cover:

The answer of almost every Horizon Europe coordinator to the question “What is the most stressful part of implementing a project?” is usually an unwavering - periodic reporting!

We, in fact, share this sentiment, but what can actually be done to make this process easier?

The answer is, among other things, continuous reporting. What does this reporting consist of, how is it different and how is it similar to the dreaded periodic reporting, you can find out in this 45-minute webinar, and we’ll leave some time for your questions at the end – we're sure there will be plenty!

Topics we’ll cover include:

• Why is continuous reporting important
• How do we navigate the portal
• What does continuous reporting consist of
• Which steps will help us with periodic reporting

 

Whether you’re preparing to coordinate your first Horizon Europe project or you just started, this webinar can ease your journey into managing the portal, obtaining the right data for continuous reporting, as well as doing all this in a timely manner.

Things happen. Whether it is just a few days of delay in submitting a deliverable or having to exclude a partner from the consortium, you may face a wide range of issues in your Horizon Europe project that need to be carefully handled.

The question is, what is the right course of action? Do you need only to discuss and agree internally with your consortium partners, or e-mail your Project Officer, or send a formal communication through the Portal, or launch a Grant Agreement amendment?

Topics covered:

• Most typical situations that require an amendment in Horizon Europe projects;
• Cases that do not require an amendment: how to best handle them;
• Step-by-step guide to amendments: how to initiate, prepare and submit via the Portal;
• Timelines of different amendments: what to expect and how to speed things up;

 

Whether you are already an experienced coordinator or just starting to manage your first Horizon Europe project, this webinar is for you as it will provide real-life examples, practical tips and guidance on managing amendments in Horizon Europe.

Travel, Equipment, and Other Goods, Works and Services Explained

 

 

Are you navigating the complexities of financial reporting under Horizon Europe?

Join our one-hour expert session dedicated to demystifying Purchase Costs in Horizon Europe projects! 

This webinar will help finance managers, project controllers, and project managers correctly apply the Annotated Model Grant Agreement (AGA) rules and avoid common pitfalls in purchase cost calculation and reporting.

"What’s eligible and what’s not?

Many Horizon Europe projects run into trouble when reporting Purchase Costs - a category covering much more than just invoices. From staff travel and hotel bookings, to high-value equipment and external services, each cost must meet very specific conditions.

We’ll break down the three key types you need to master: Travel & Subsistence (C.1), Equipment Costs (C.2), and Other Goods, Works and Services (C.3). You’ll learn how to spot the hidden risks, apply the right calculation methods, learn about specific cases and avoid financial mistakes or rejected cost in your next reporting. Practical, clear, and expert-led—this session is designed to give you confidence when dealing with these tricky budget categories."

 

Topics to be discussed

• Eligibility principles for all Purchase Costs under Article 6 of the AGA.
• Travel and Subsistence: What is considered necessary and how to handle combined travel.
• How to apply per diem rules and document travel costs properly.
• Equipment Costs: Difference between depreciation and full capitalised costs.
• Handling multi-use equipment and calculating the share used for the project.
• Other Goods, Works and Services : What costs are included, from consumables to IPR fees.
• Best practices for avoiding cost rejections during reporting and audit issues.

 

Don’t Miss Out!

This webinar is your opportunity to learn directly from our EU funding finance expert, Gabor Kitley.

Whether you are a finance manager, controller, or project manager, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to manage purchase cost reporting in full compliance.
