Applicants are invited to carefully read all the provisions below before preparing and submitting their proposals.

 

The estimated EU budget for this topic is given in the KDT JU Work Programme 2021 and in the topic header above. For the most up to date information concerning the budget commitments of the KDT JU Participating States applicants are invited to check the KDT JU web site: https://www.kdt-ju.europa.eu/current-call

The specific provisions and funding rates (both EU and national) are described in the KDT-JU Work Programme 2021.

The complex funding rates of KDT JU IA call 2021 and the limitations of the submission system resulted in the fact that the funding rates of the large enterprises (for profit not SMEs) are not adequately integrated in the JU/EU Budget table in the Part A. Consequently, these organizations need to calculate their JU/EU Funding as instructed in the Guide for Applicants (examples for each Call/topic are presented).

Similarly, the National Budgets/Funding Table are not anymore integrated into the Part A (as it was the case in the past for the ECSEL JU) and it needs to be uploaded as a separate xls file in the dedicated place holder in the submission tool. More details/instructions are provided in the Guide for Applicants

The Part C are now named National Part in the submission tool to avoid confusion with the Part C (dynamic forms) used by other programmes. More details are provided in the Guide for Applicants
