Register now for an inspiring information session, organized by the USI Research Service, on how to translate your scientific project into a coherent and well-structured budget.

With Switzerland’s association to Horizon Europe, Swiss participants now apply as Beneficiaries and must comply with the Horizon Europe financial rules as potential recipients of EU funding.

During this session, we will guide you through:

  • the main funding schemes applicable to EU calls;
  • funding rates;
  • eligibility rules;
  • cost categories;
  • how to develop a sound cost estimation, including costs related to compliance with Open Science principles;

and much more.

This is valuable opportunity for researchers planning to submit a project proposal under the various calls of the Horizon Europe framework programme in the coming months.

Enhance your awareness and strengthen your ability to develop sound cost estimates by combining your scientific perspective with a project management approach. A well-justified budget and an effective use of resources can make a real difference in the evaluation of your proposal and lay the foundation for smooth project implementation.
