Horizon Europe

On this page you will find guidelines and templates required for the successful realisation of your Horizon Europe project.

A verification of the work time of employees is necessary for the settlement of personnel costs in Horizon Europe projects. There are two possibilities to provide the verification:

• (1) There is the possibility of a simplified documentation by the use of the template for a Monthly Declaration. In this document, the employees of a Horizon Europe project can record their respective monthly work days, more specifically daily equivalents, for one calendar year.
• (2) In Horizon Europe, this can be also made by an hourly time recording as it was the case in the predecessor funding programme Horizon 2020. A paper-based (e.g. Timesheets) as well as an electronic time recording are allowed. Concerning reporting, the recorded hours have to be converted in daily equivalents for the respective person(s), since the settlement of personnel costs in Horizon Europe projects is based on daily rates.

During the project duration, questions concerning the calculation of various costs frequently arise. Our "Recommendations for cost calculations" list some of the key facts about overheads, audits and more.

Please, contact our team in any case due to the specific formalities of the respective funding schemes.
