As anticipated in a previous UKRO article, the European Commission has announced that a new optional unit cost method is being offered to make reporting personnel costs easier and more accurate.
Announced during the Research & Innovation week, the new personnel unit cost will allow organisations to use a single daily rate for all staff working on Horizon Europe projects, and will be available on request from 1 May 2024.
Using the new personnel unit costs method is entirely optional. Beneficiaries can test it and, if not satisfied, revert back to using an ‘actual costs’ model for personnel calculations.
You can find more information, including a Personnel Unit Cost Wizard here.
