Subcontracting, what do you mean by limited part, if the project is 5 years, is one year of subcontracting is considered a limited part of the project?

It does not necessarily depend on the time if someone will be regarded as a subcontractor or as a real partner. It depends on the task one has in a FP7 project. Subcontracting is limited to side-tasks which are not central and crucial for development of the project.Nike Air Max Plus

One question about the cumulated EC contribution: if other previous or current FP7 projects running, the limit 375K Euro applies for the whole amount of the projects?

The 375k€ limit applies for each project separately.

Direct and indirect costs in FP7 ?

My question is in relation to direct and indirect cost in FP7. If we allocate some of the time of the Director of the Research Centre, where do we allocate this cost? As direct costs or personnel costs?

For stage one, is it sufficient to allocate a budget to subcontractor but later in stage 2 show the 3 offers and best price quality ratio?

You only have to show the 3 offers in case of a second level audit by the Commission which can be done up to 5 years after the end of the project (good project documentation is needed!).Niño/a

Clinical trials, sub-contracting?

In our project we need to follow the progress of patients from different wards, GPs, home nursing organisations. They need to all fill-out a questionnaire and need to have their costs covered for this. Classical sub-contracting. There will be many (up to hundreds) of different organisations. We can't have a contract with them exactly, nor can we write out a call for the sub-contracting. What do we need to watch out for to ensure we follow the EU rules for sub-contracting?

Can costs for dinners during FP7 project meetings be claimed on the project?

If it is a project management or a project board meeting and if the dinner is necessary for networking among the consortium partners andis necessary to conduct the project, yes, it is possible to claim it on the project. But it needs to be justified for networking issues. Best advice is to ask the Project Officer in advance if the costs for a common dinner will be covered by the project. It is always good to have an agenda so you really can show that the dinner was a working dinner and not for entertainment.

Can we use equipment that has been bought of the projects budget also after the end of the project?

Yes, of course. You are the owner.

Are daily allowances accepted in general?

Daily allowances are accepted by the commission if they are part of your normal operating accounting principles (“usual practice”).

Is it possible to claim fees of external experts on the project budget?

In principle yes, when the cost cover flights and hotel fees as well as daily allowances only. It is always recommended to get a confirmation from your SO in advance. If it will be a substantial part of the project budget you should think about subcontracting.adidas

Is a supplementary salary from an EU-funded project possible in case that the project partner receives a salary in his/her organisation?

Here the internal rules of your organisation apply. As the salary has to be according to the usual practice of the beneficiary it is always very problematic to get an EU-project bonus because this cannot be reimbursed in the project. If the top-up corresponds to more hours work for the beneficiary there is no problem – national labour law is the limit here.Баскетбольные кроссовки
