Our budget is more detailed than requested. Writing it like this was necessary, but ultimately we need to produce two tables more or less like in the example document, pages 50 (WPs by partners, divided in staff and non-staff costs) and 51 (WPs broken down into tasks by partners). I write “more or less” because it seems there are new guidelines I am not familiar with (budget table in the administrative proposal form; table 3.4a, that should come quite naturally from the partner’s budgets; table 3.4b, which is an unknown. With the present budget, 3.4b is required for Edgeryders.
This task consists of doing the aggregation work, ready for copy-paste.
I suggest we all put down the totals in the Total budget sheet. I found a slight overlook in the WeMake budget sheet, @Cristina_Martellosio have a look in your budget sheet? I think the total amount doesn’t include I24. Then I tried to add the person months…
Then I also noticed you haven’t included the 15% indirect costs… or are they somewhere?
Anyway, just a heads up, then you can work out your numbers as you wish.
I have no idea what E, G, I refer to. Currently in all our budgets “Other direct costs” include everything that is not personnel - travels, technology & equipment, services. For example, @melancon I remember you budgeted for acquisition of technology at some point, which now has gone in “Other direct costs”. Please someone check if that is where it should be going.
I could use a double check on the numbers please! (see the spreadsheet where I’m computing them).
@Costantino@Cristina_Martellosio I see in the spreadsheet that you haven’t budgeted indirect costs for Milano, is there a reason for that or should we add it in as 25%?
HI @Noemi, I have no idea either of what these E, G, and I column stand for (although my guess is column I is automatically filled by the system, but I didn’t go that far with the forms. (I spent lots of time trying to figure out how to handle the pdf form outside Chrome.
There is a table to fill for each Partner “if the sum of the costs for’ travel’, ‘equipment’, and ‘goods and services’ exceeds 15% of the personnel costs for that participant (according to the budget table in section 3 of the proposal administrative forms)”. The percentage is higher than 15 for all of us except WeMake.
Please see page 64 and onwards in the application - we need to detail our non-personnel related costs for each partner, broken down into Travels, Equipment and Other services. Normally these should be taken from the spreadsheets, but anything you can contribute to be convincing, please do!
So it was intuitive for some, less for others. For example LaBRI budgeted for other services in WP4, but I couldn.t tell exactly from reading the description what the amount was for… If @melancon can check then great, if not we.re good to go.
