  2. Focus on delivering a group of excellent researchers with good career opportunities in Europe. Most funding goes to the young researchers! Max project duration 4 years Budget per partner depends on nr of ESR and ER months hosted by the partner. ESR: early stage researcher -> PhD candidate ER: experienced researcher -> Post-doc ESR & ER can be from any country, also outside Europe, but only from your own country if he or she has been abroad last 3 years Marie Curie initial training network

  3. Budget categories to be paid to the ESR/ER’s: Afixed amount for monthly living and mobility allowance A fixed amount per year for travel allowance A fixed amount for career exploratory allowance A monthly contribution to the participation expenses of eligible researchers, to be managed by the Hosting Party. The ESR/ER must be hired with an employment contract, not as a student with a fellowship! MC ITN

  4. In addition, the Parties have the following budget available: A monthly contribution of EUR 1200 to the research/training/transfer of knowledge programme expenses of the Parties, based on the number of months an ESR or ER is hosted within the Parties organisation H Contribution to overheads of all Parties of max 10% of its direct costs excluding management activities and costs for subcontracting (if any). G Maximum 7 % of the total EC contribution can be claimed for management costs of the network (real salary costs = 100% paid) MC ITN

  7. Maximum EC contribution = percentage of eligible costs depending on type of activity: Research and technological development = 75% (for non-profit and university bodies and SME’s) Demonstration activities = 50% Management activities = 100% Other activities (networking, training, dissemination) = 100% FP7 Collaborative projects

  8. Eligible costs are: Indirect costs: real indirect costs (overhead , but internal accounting system needs to be in place) or fixed flat rate of 20 or 60% of direct costs minus subcontracting costs (for SME’s and non-profit bodies it is 60%) Direct costs: Personnel costs (gross salary costs + social charges) Travel costs Subcontracting costs, other costs FP7 CP

  11. Increase role and project responsibilities of user groups in project document.
