Crowdhelix Webinar | Lump-Sum Grants in Horizon Europe: What They Are, How to Budget and Why They Change Your Bid
seminarier, workshops |
Lump-sum grants are estimated to cut beneficiaries' administrative costs by between 14% and 30% over a project's lifetime, a significant saving for those who get their budget right. But that saving comes with a trade-off: unlike actual-cost grants, lump-sum funding requires applicants to fix their entire budget at proposal stage, structured by work package and partner. Get it wrong at submission, through under-costing, poor work package design, or misreading how evaluators assess the figures, and it can directly affect your score or your grant agreement.
Lump-sum funding is fast becoming the default in Horizon Europe. The European Commission has set a target of allocating up to 50% of the budget through lump-sum mechanisms by 2027, already backed by more than 200 lump-sum topics across the 2023–2024 work programmes and now extended across all three Pillars. If you're bidding into the 2027 call cycle, chances are your proposal will need to follow lump-sum rules, with a budgeting approach that's fundamentally different from what most applicants are used to.
This session provides a clear, practical grounding in how lump-sum grants work, what they mean for how you structure and cost your proposal, and what to watch out for when building your budget ahead of 2027 deadlines.
