Mistakes that cost you the money
- Building a team without the required number of independent partners, each established in a different country. Consequence: The consortium does not meet the call's conditions.
- Including a partner established in Russia, Belarus or non-government controlled territories of Ukraine. Consequence: That partner cannot take part, and the team may fail the conditions.
- Leaving out Part B or a mandatory annex. Consequence: The application may be considered incomplete.
- Putting the fee of a consultant who writes the proposal into the budget. Consequence: That cost is not accepted.
- Planning a budget that leaves a surplus over costs. Consequence: The budget breaks the no-profit rule of the call.
