Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Proposing a project that ignores the testing part of the Qu-Test action plan. Consequence: The proposal does not meet the call's requirement.
  • Applying as a body that is neither a company nor a university research body. Consequence: You may be ineligible.
  • Waiting for the cut-off day without confirming the time. Consequence: You could miss the deadline, because the call states no time.
  • Building a budget before learning the excluded costs and any own share. Consequence: Costs may be refused or leave you short.
