Introducing circular economy models in the construction sector, from buildings to city scale

If your lump sum budget contains any cost items in cost category C and/or D, please make sure to justify these items in the ‘Any comments’ sheet of the Excel detailed lump sum budget table. The reason is that we simplified the proposal template, removing this information from Part B and bringing it closer to the relevant budget items. Specifically, you must include justification in the ‘Any comments’ sheet if you are in any of the following situations: If the sum of the costs for ’travel and subsistence’, ‘equipment’, and ‘other goods, works and services’ (i.e. the purchase costs) exceeds 15% of the personnel costs for a participant. If this is the case, justify the most expensive cost item(s) up to the level that the remaining costs are below 15% of personnel costs. If other cost categories (e.g. internally invoiced goods and services) are used. If in-kind contributions are used (non-financial resources made available free of charge by third parties, which must be included as direct costs in the corresponding cost category, e.g. personnel costs or purchase costs for equipment).
