Finance Helpdesk 2 Day in-depth FP7 Financial Workshop.
27 March 2007 - 28 March 2007
Austria
Problem:
In FP6, organisations were disadvantaged by a combination of poor budgeting and lack of knowledge of the financial regulations as applied to themselves. This frequently resulted in missed opportunities as well as grossly under-budgeting their own involvement when successful.
Solution:
Now with the start of FP7, the Finance Helpdesk will provide in-depth training to ensure workshop participants that the problems encountered in FP6 do not continue into FP7.
1st Workshop Date:
27 – 28 March 2007
Target Audience:
The Finance Helpdesk will be holding a series of 2 Day in-depth FP7 Financial Workshop targeted at Accountants, Auditors and Financial Personnel.
Workshop Aim:
To ensure the attendees have all the tools required to interpret and implement the new rules of FP7. This is key in enabling them to understand and implement their own, or their clients’ financial responsibilities and options in applying for and undertaking an EU RTD project.

The Finance Helpdesk Workshop will be implemented through:
• Explaining and interpreting current written published material,
• Case Studies and examples,
• Discussion of problems and situations from the participants,
• Consultants’ extensive experience in the EU Framework Programs.
