Additional organisation data
In this tab, also known as DSF (Domain Specific Facts), you can view the Accreditations, Affiliations and Exemptions linked to your organisation, as well as view and specify Special cost methods for your organisation. Please note that the additional organisation data is programme specific in some cases:
Special cost methods (HE / Euratom)
The Special cost methods tab contains all facts applicable to different cost methods, displaying also historic facts related to them. This tab, and the specification of use of Personnel Unit Costs is applicable only to the Horizon Europe and Euratom Programmes.
The special costs methods tab applies only to HE / Euratom Programmes
This tab is available for all organisations, but the selected value is considered only when your organisation is participating in HE / Euratom actions.
For the rest of programmes, including programmes that might authorise special cost methods declarations such as via a certificate on the methodology for the usual accounting practices (CoMUC), please ignore this tab.
The LEAR or the account administrator can select a cost method, click on Choose special cost method:
You can declare interest by choosing the option Use personnel unit costs. When invited to sign a grant agreement under HE / Euratom, if your orgasination has selected to use personnel unit cost, the LEAR will receive a task to accept and submit the required document and specify the daily rate.
You can express your disinterest by pressing the button Use actual personnel costs. This is the default option for all organisations unless the LEAR changes it:
Until they have not been approved, these choices are reversible here. The data provided at this point is just a self-declaration, that will be only considered at the moment that your organisation is participating in a proposal that has been selected for EU funding.
If you have selected to use Personnel Unit Costs and you are part of a consortium that has been invited to sign a Grant Agreement, you will be asked to submit a daily rate and a certificate for the EU to validate your selection during the Grant Agreement Preparation phase, see Personnel Unit costs for more details.
Calculate your daily rate yourself before launching a request
There is a Unit Costs Wizard available so that the organisations calculate their daily rate when using personnel unit costs before making a formal request.
The Wizard is accessible through the F&T Portal. After selecting Horizon Europe from the list of EU programs, in the simplified founding section, the wizard is launched after clicking on Personnel Unit Costs button.
Click on wizard from the left-side menu and then on Start wizard:
Knowing how much you would get, you can decide if you want to request it and go through the validation process. The Wizard is anonymous and available to everybody, even if you are logged in; the data is not registered nor followed-up.
