OVERVIEW OF ALLOWABLE COSTS

Only four types of costs are eligible for reimbursement under a Thematic Network contract:

  1. Labour
  2. Travel
  3. Computing
  4. Other project-specific costs

Consumables are not allowable expenses under this contract.

Costs are reimbursed in two distinct ways:

  1. Travel, Computing, and Other costs are reimbursed to the member directly by CAPTEC.
  2. Labour costs are reimbursed by the Commission to the member, via the prime contractor, following submission and acceptance of the consolidated six-monthly cost statement and after payment of the cost statement.

Claims for travel, computing, and other costs can be submitted to CAPTEC at any time and will be reimbursed by euro bank draft within one calendar month. For details on how to claim travel, computing, and other costs, and for an exact definition of the rules governing these costs, please see Information->Reimbursement of Costs->Travel, Computing, & Other Costs.

In addition to these cost claims, formal cost statements detailing expenditure on labour must be submitted every six months; please see Information->Reimbursement of Costs->Six-Monthly Cost Statements.

An advance payment of 40% on all labour costs will be forwarded to any relevant member (this applies both to Area Leaders and to members who are awarded funding for specific actions).

Overheads of 20% will be paid to members on all labour costs. No overheads will be paid on travel, computing, and other costs which are reimbursed directly by CAPTEC

No costs will be reimbursed unless the member has completed, signed, and submitted the Membership Agreement.
