Key parts to watch out in your next lump sum proposal and budget!

With lump sum proposals gaining ground in Horizon Europe, this webinar will help you master the key differences—so you can plan, budget, and deliver with confidence from day one.

 

The share of lump sum funding in the Horizon Europe 2025 and 2026-2027 Work Programmes will be even higher than before, therefore everyone applying for lump sum funding should be aware of those key sections that are different from the actual cost proposals.  

If you are reading this description, you are probably working on a lump sum proposal! Let’s see how our trainer, Krisztina can help you out with pro tips, experiences and practices coming from our own lump sum proposals and projects.

 

The course will cover: 

• Key features of lump sum funding and the implementation of lump sum projects
• Best practices to design a winning lump sum proposal
• Distribution and number of work packages in your proposal and how these are linked to the reporting periods and the payment system of lump sum projects
• How to define the lump sum shares of the work packages in your proposal
• The detailed lump sum budget table – Tips to define sufficient units for your costs
• Evaluation of the lump sum proposals – extracts from our own ESRs

 

Who is this course for? 

This course is for you if you are planning to submit a competitive proposal under the Horizon Europe lump sum calls. This course is designed for future and current beneficiaries who are familiar with the basics of HE proposal writing and project management.
