Financial Information

The  Coordinator/beneficiary Financial Information is automatically listed after receiving the invitation letter.

Please check all information and update, if necessary.

Only for Horizon Europe and Euratom: complete the Personnel unit cost* category by filling in the corresponding values (amount per unit and number of units).

*The Personnel unit cost is optional and it is allowed for the organisation(s), if they declared their interest for using it. The request for the use of Personnel unit cost (i.e. fixed single daily rate per legal entity) must be submitted by the legal entity appointed representative (LEAR) and approved by the Central Validation Service. The Personnel unit cost category is always visible (and editable) and it depends on the MGA (v1.2). However certain rules apply:

• • if the organisation(s) have declared 'no' interest, then the action will be blocked
  • if the organisation(s) have set their interest to 'yes', but nothing has been declared, a warning message will pop-up
  • if the organisation(s) have declared an action cost, then they cannot declare a unit cost, at the same time.

Yet, if 'no' interest has been declared by the organisation(s) in the first place, the Participant Contact (PaCo) may still declare it during the Grant Agreement Preparation process.

For more information about how the LEAR can select the Personnel unit cost option, please consult our wiki. More information about the Personnel Unit Costs is available in the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, here.
