About the event
This practical webinar will include all about building a budget for Horizon Europe proposals. It gives an introduction to key budgetary principles of EU Research & Innovation projects. We will explain how budgeting in a standard Horizon Europe differs from budgeting in a lump sum project, and how to set up a good resource plan and budget. The session has a practical workshop, where participants learn how to calculate their costs.
