In the Work Programs 2023/2024 of Horizon Europe, the European Commission has used the flat rate scheme is extensively. The lump sum scheme, defined as a simplified cost form, introduces a completely different project idea right from the proposal writing phase, re-understanding implementation, up to the ex-post control phase. Therefore the legal implications e there are many financial ones. With a specific focus on this aspect, we intend to provide participants with the tools to be able to successfully manage a lump sum project right from the proposal phase.

"Il TT nel PNRR: stato dell'arte e criticità” - IV Netval Winter School
2024-02-05 - 2024-02-07 | La Casa per Ferie Cortina (BL), Italy
The Netval Winter School reaches its fourth edition, with the theme “TT in the PNRR: current situation and critical issues”.
The huge investments of the PNRR in support of research and development and innovation stimulate the need for reflection on which tools and strategies to adopt so that the results obtained thanks to these resources can be generators of impact, strengthening skills and encouraging the transition towards a knowledge-based economy. The organization of partnerships for the development of actions to valorise knowledge, the cascade calls, the KPIs to be monitored, are just some of the points of reflection on which it is appropriate, in this phase of progress, to focus common attention also on in order to strengthen and extend the actions that Technology Transfer offices can promote, also in interaction with these new groupings of actors.
