The first ex-post audits in H2020 projects show that participants continue to make mistakes in their cost claims. A persistent high error rate damages the reputation of the EU Framework Programme and of research in general. Such errors may lead to annoying and costly consequences for beneficiaries. It is therefore in our common interest to avoid them as much as possible. To this end, the Commission has prepared a short guidance document on "How to avoid errors when claiming costs in H2020 grants".
Research and Innovation are vital for the creation of jobs, growth and competitiveness, and for tackling societal challenges in Europe. Through researchers' participation in Horizon 2020, they contribute greatly to the achievement of those objectives with excellence-based research and innovation projects, leading to new products, processes and services. By turning Horizon 2020 into an error-free programme your participation in the programme will be even more successful.
