EU FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TIPS

1) Eligibility of costs in ongoing actions or contracts

Where individuals who were to take part in mobilities, meetings or events are prevented from doing so, for example owing to their recent contact with someone suffering from the virus or their presence in an area considered to be at high risk, EACEA may consider as eligible* expenses of travel or accommodation that could not be cancelled and which are not reimbursed from other sources provided that the beneficiaries/contractors/experts submit relevant supporting documents in this sense (in particular that they have claimed reimbursement and that it was denied).

2) Where COVID-19 prevents implementation of action or contract

Where the execution of contracts is impeded because of COVID-19 (for example due to unavailability of key staff, the impossibility of carrying on work in a zone affected by the virus or any other case which can be regarded as force majeure), EACEA may accept replacement activities or delayed performance. This could be done following a justified request by the beneficiary/contractor/expert to amend the contract including by extending the period of its implementation/ performance.

Documentation

Beneficiaries/contractors/experts must collect and keep the relevant documentation which might be needed at a later stage to prove/justify any decision taken having an impact on the implementation of the project (notably from a financial point of view). Other updates may follow as the situation evolves.

This call for proposals will support transnational cooperation projects in the fields of general education and training and adult education.

The call comprises two lots:

Lot 1 — General education and training

Lot 2 — Adult education

Each application must address one general objective and one of the specific objectives, which are listed separately for Lot 1 and for Lot 2. Both the general and specific objectives of the call are exhaustive: proposals that do not address them will not be considered.

The financial contribution from the EU cannot exceed 80 % of the total eligible project costs.

The maximum grant per project will be:

—

EUR 400 000 for projects of 24 months duration;

—

EUR 500 000 for projects of 36 months duration.
