[I4trust] Question raised during IMP sessions regarding budget and reporting of costs

[Rosa Villaronga]

Hi,

FBOX reponses:

Can you confirm that slight changes in the budget (provided the overall
funding does not vary) is possible?   Would it be enough if it is changed
in the IMP document (there is a specific section devoted to budget).

*Yes, We can confirm it.*

*Indeed, an updated version of the budget is essential at this stage.*

*The budget should respect all limitations stated in the GfA:*


   - *The maximum funding per SME/slightly bigger companies participating
   in a Bottom-Up experiment funded under i4Trust may not exceed €60,000.00.*
   - *The maximum budget per DIH  will be up to 18.000 EUR*

 On the other hand, one of the experiments asked how they should report
their costs.   Is FundingBox providing some mean for that?


*Experiments will be granted with a lump sum.*

*The lump sum is a simplified method of settling expenses in projects
financed from Horizon 2020 funds. It means that the grantee is not required
to present strictly defined accounting documents to prove the cost incurred
(e.g. invoices), but is obliged to demonstrate the implementation of the
project in line with the milestones set for it. *


*Simply speaking it means that we will assess the progress and quality of
Experiments work during Interim Reviews, not their accountancy.*

*The lump-sum does not release the Experiments from the obligation to
collect documentation to confirm the costs under relevant fiscal
regulations. *
Best,
