Teachers:ESD Erasmus Project 2013

The programme is open to:

• the 27 EU Member States
• Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway
• Turkey, Croatia
• Switzerland

Third countries

However, projects and networks are at liberty in their applications to make a case for including partners from other countries where the organisations concerned have demonstrably important expertise to share with their European counterparts. In all instances the involvement of partners from third countries must be justified in terms of the value added to experience within the European countries participating in the programme.

Eligibility period

The period of eligibility for costs and activities starts and finishes on the dates indicated in the Grant Agreement. Under no circumstances can the eligibility period for costs and activities start before the date for submission of the grant application.

Financial capacity

For grants exceeding EUR 750.000:

• an audit report produced by an approved external auditor certifying the accounts for the last financial year available

Financial Provisions

• Reimbursement of a percentage of eligible costs: the applicant will define his expenditure in terms of real costs (where maximum eligible rates may apply). European Union financing will be calculated by applying a percentage to real eligible expenditure. The contribution will be reduced pro rata if, at final reporting stage, the project is not fulfilled or is only partially fulfilled or funds have been spent on ineligible expense items. Where the reported costs are less than foreseen, the contribution will be reduced by applying the percentage fixed in the Grant Agreement.
