How to prepare the budget of your actual cost grant proposal?

If budgeting still feels like the trickiest part of your Horizon Europe proposal, this webinar will guide you through the financial fundamentals and real-life practices—so you can build a solid, eligible, and implementation-ready budget with confidence.

 

The September deadlines are fast approaching and you haven't even started to put together your proposal budget, or are you just considering the finishing touches on it? Whichever team you belong to, this webinar will help you! Join us and master the budget of your next proposal!

There are several approaches to prepare the budget. Some people plan in broad lines and then reallocate between cost categories if necessary, others think through and plan every cost item carefully. Which is the right approach? Which will be more useful in the implementation?  Whichever pathway you choose, you need to be aware of the financial basics and the eligibility rules. So we'll go through those eligibility rules together.

This webinar will provide useful practical budgeting tips and practices that you can apply in your next Horizon Europe proposal. We will also present the actual cost grant budgeting process from the coordinator's and the partner's perspective.

 

Topics covered:

• Overview of the financial fundamentals of Horizon Europe: eligibility rules, major cost types in a HE project etc.
• EC budgeting requirements, what should be included in the application form?
• Budgeting methods and examples
• What does the coordinator need to plan the budget? As a partner, how do I estimate my own budget?
• Budget negotiation between the coordinator and the partners
• Showcasing internal budget tables of our own proposals and projects.
