Understanding Purchase Costs in Horizon Europe

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

Join our free 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.

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