Short description

"Lump sum funding is increasingly used in Horizon Europe to make the programme simpler by removing the need to report actual costs and reduce the financial error rate.

Lump sum funding is a concept to simplify the funding mechanism while all the main features of the research funding stay the same; therefore easier to use for small beneficiaries with no or limited experience, such as SMEs with only a few projects over the programme. Common understanding of lump sum funding still needs to be improved as there are still many misunderstandings, such as higher financial risk, less flexibility in grant management, and that the partially completed lump sum projects and work packages will not be paid – which are NOT TRUE! "
