The session has a practical workshop, where participants learn how to calculate their costs.

The share of lump sum funding in the Horizon Europe 2025-27 Work Programmes and in FP10 will be even higher than before. Lump sum funding was created to make the programme simpler by removing the need to report actual costs and reduce the financial error rate. However, the details are always important and we should understand the specific extra tasks and rules that everyone applying for lump sum funding should be aware of – both when writing a proposal and implementing a project. This online course will introduce the essentials of lumps sum funding and dig into the practicalities of writing proposals and managing a lump sum project.

Useful for researchers, economic advisors and project managers for externally funded research projects. The course will be held by Europa Media in English and is organized by the Norwegian Research Council.

Participation is free but you have to register by August 26 here.
