About the event
Master of Project Management and Reporting in Horizon Europe and H2020 (3 days) – Level 4
The Master of Project Management and Financial Reporting in Horizon 2020 & Horizon Europe is a 3-day practice-heavy, hands-on course that will assist you in gaining a comprehensive understanding of project management, reporting protocols and personnel cost calculation under Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 and their practical application in day-to-day operations. During the 3-day program, you will learn all about the project management duties and practices and gain an in-depth understanding of the personnel cost related financial rules and reporting protocols of Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020.
The course covers how to manage innovation activities in HE projects, and what you can do to make the most out of your project results. We will explain intellectual property and how to protect it, how to develop a good business plan and different ways of exploiting project results commercially.
In addition, the course will discuss the different reporting requirement; the continuous reporting, the periodic reports and the last periodic report, including the introduction of financial rules and financial reporting. The course finishes with an overview of what goes on in a review meeting.
The combination of practical presentations, the hands-on workshop on personnel cost calculation and the project management and financial scenarios will introduce all the aspects you need to know.
The course language is English, and trainers are from Europa Media.
Our Horizon Europe seminars are distributed into 5 topics (A-E) on three knowledge levels (1-3). Read more about the different courses.

08:30 – 09:00 Arrival of participants
09:30 – 11:00 The legal obligations – from GA to CA
Gabriella Lovasz, Managing Director, Europa Media Norge AS
Understanding your obligations coming from the Grant Agreement and the
Consortium Agreement is essential. This presentation will introduce those articles of
the GA and sections of the CA from the project management perspective that need
to be considered the most during the implementation of your projects: such as
financial clauses, budget distribution and management, dealing with defaulting
parties, ownership of the results, access rights, IPR issues etc.
Gabriella Lovasz
Introduction to the innovation management activities in Horizon Europe projects
including best practices to make the most out of your project results. During this
presentation we will discuss how innovation management is linked to the daily
management and the reporting activities; how to follow IP development, capture
and manage results; how to assess novelty elements and how to decide on the best
exploitation route?
Results inc. Communication (PEDR)
Gabriella Lovasz
The first deliverables you need to prepare by M6 is the DMP and the PEDR based
on the draft strategies included in the proposal. Both relate to your 1.2 section in the
proposal on open science. These are strategic, live documents, introducing all the
key research data management, dissemination, exploitation and communication
activities and measures planned to support the achievement of the expected
outcomes and the long-term impact of the project, taking into consideration the
open science principles. In this presentation, our trainers give you several practice based tips on how to build your DMP and PEDR, what exactly to include and in what
format. Our trainers will also show you several examples from their own projects.
13:45 – 14:15 The Project Handbook - tools and procedures to coordinate properly
Gabriella Lovasz
Having a good management system (for monitoring and reporting) supported by
clear and practical tools will enable you to efficiently deliver your project results.
We will show you the essential tools that we crafted based on our extensive
experience with managing projects and various consortia: internal technical and
financial report; budget spending monitoring; IP management, data management,
assessing the D&C activities of the partners.
In this day-closing session, we will go through various project management cases
that have happened in our own projects. Together we will go through the scenarios
and discuss how to deal with such situation and what tools we have at our disposal
as a partner or as a coordinator. Get ready for advanced scenarios!
09:00 – 9:30 Reporting from A to Z: Continuous Reporting
Gabriella Lovasz
In this session, we will introduce all remaining tabs of Horizon Europe Continuous
Reporting tool and discuss what has changed compared to H2020. Many tabs
were introduced on the first day. Our trainers will introduce the responsibilities of
the partners and the coordinator in the Continuous Reporting and showcase
powerful templates and tools for coordinators. Internal reporting: when and how
the internal reporting should be completed to be able to identify “problems”.

life on employees and other employment contracts; financial-year based/monthly
based calculation in H2020 vs the HE daily-rate calculations.
Which of the productive-hour number to consider; how to harmonize measuring
days (HE) and hours (H2020)? Should the hours be transformed into days?

Each participant will receive a package containing timesheets, payrolls,
employment contracts, and other relevant documentation for several virtual
employees to master the calculation of personnel costs within Horizon Europe and
Horizon 2020 projects. This unique workshop will provide participants with a
comprehensive understanding of the differences between the two programmes,
their respective calculation protocols, and the advantages and disadvantages of
each. The goal of the workshop is to demystify the calculation of personnel costs
and help participants realize that it's not as complicated as they may have initially
thought.

when projects funded from different grants are running parallel!
