II - Financial contribution of the Community

Research entities participating to a shared cost action may benefit from special conditions regarding the Community's financial contribution:

Participants from non-associated CEECs (except those in pre-accession phase) and NIS using the Additional Cost method of calculation will be allowed to charge those personnel costs normally paid by their recurrent budget (permanent scientific staff). As a consequence, the percentage for overhead shall be limited to 10%.

Notwithstanding the applicable method of calculation, participants from non-associated CEECs (except those in pre-accession phase), NIS, MPCs and DCs shall calculate the allowable costs of equipment without taking into account a depreciation period, provided the equipment remains in the premises of the participant during and after the completion of the project.
