Are you preparing a Horizon Europe proposal that follows the traditional actual cost model? Even though the European Commission is steadily introducing more lump-sum topics, many high-value calls still require accurate cost estimation and detailed financial reporting. That means traditional budgeting skills remain essential for both coordinators and partners. 

Whether you prefer to outline your budget at a high level or plan every single cost item, the real question is: Which approach actually helps you build a competitive proposal and ensures smooth implementation later on? 

In this practice-oriented webinar, our expert will show you how to navigate the full budgeting process with confidence. You’ll learn what the EC expects, how to align Part A and Part B, and how to apply proven budgeting methods based on our real proposal experience. You’ll also gain clear insights into what coordinators need from partners — and what partners must prepare to estimate their costs effectively. 

What you will learn 

• How to create a coherent budget by linking Part A and Part B; 

• Practical budgeting methods with real examples from successful proposals; 

• What information coordinators need — and how partners can contribute effectively; 

• How to estimate your own budget as a partner;

• How to approach budget negotiations within the consortium; 

Join us and master your next proposal budget!
