Administrative Costs for Project Partners
Eurogia2030 Cluster Project Fee
Eurogia2030 is a non-profit organisation with the sole mission to boost R&D International Collaboration in the Low-Carbon Technologies field.
To sustain the association financially, Eurogia2030 charges Industrial Project Partners with a Project Fee.
Only “Running” projects are charged with the Project Fee.
The Project Fee amount is agreed with the other EurekaNetwork Clusters and approve by the EurekaNetwork. Any changes in the Project Fee rules should be approved by the EurekaNetwork bodies.
Project Fee Calculation and Invoicing
The Project Fee is charged only to Industrial Project partners (Industry and SMEs). Universities and Research Institutes are exempted.
The Eurogia Project Fee correspond to the 1.5% of the “Funded Budget” (portion of eligible budget received by Funding Agencies). Each partner will be liable for its quote of budget.
The Project fee is invoiced in a certain number of equal instalments (based on years of the project: 1 equal instalments for each project year). The First Instalments is invoiced at the starting of the project, the others are invoiced in the first quarter of each consecutive year.
Project Fees are calculated on the basis of the ‘funded budget’ figure. This does not imply that invoicing is contingent upon the actual disbursement of funds by Funding Agencies. As funding release procedures differ across countries, linking invoices to actual disbursements would result in unnecessary complexity and inequity.
