Dozens of institutions call for continuity in calculating personnel costs for EU R&D programme
Universities and technology organisations are urging the EU not to push ahead with plans to change how participants in the bloc’s R&D programme will be required to calculate their personnel costs for projects from 2021.
Almost 80 institutions have signed a petition opposing the proposed change to the Model Grant Agreement that would ask institutions to account for employees’ working time on a daily basis rather than using the hourly timesheets already in place.
