Dear Loredana,
thanks for your mail and the information.
Daniel Wiesen forsees at the moment the following further "Other costs" (aside from personnel and travel costs to project meetings):
Travel for dissemination (e.g. conferences etc.): about 10.000 Euro
Open access costs for publications: about 5.000 Euro
Organisation costs for co-creation workshop in WP5: about 5.000 Euro
Overall: about 20.000 Euro
In case our overall budget should be above 430.000 Euro, we would additionally need about 5.000 Euro for the mandatory audit. Please note that this calculation is based on a scenario in which NO interventions would take place in Germany. In case interventions should take place in Germany, more budget items would be needed.
We noticed another thing:
The Work Packages 3-5 have a very short duration (e.g. Work Package 5 runs only 10 months).
In our view it might make a lot of sense to prolong the duration of these Work Packages to 18 months per Work Package.
Could you be so kind and let us know if this might be possible?
Please do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions.
We are looking forward to receive the overall project budget to check the planned person months and travel costs etc..
As I will be out-of-office from 3.-12.4., please do include my colleague Margarete (in cc) in all communication.
Best regards, Tanja
i.A. Tanja Leppik-Bork M.A., M.E.S.

as announced during the call, we are currently working on the project budget.
We will soon share a proposal based on top-down estimates of person-months (PMs) and travel costs, particularly for horizontal activities (e.g., project meetings, final conference, etc.).
To help us finalize the budget, we would appreciate if you could provide an estimate of any "other costs” and/or “subcontracting” (if any) related to the activities you will carry out within the project, including
a brief description for each cost item. We will do our best to accommodate your requests in the budget that will be circulated shortly.
Please send us your contributions by April 7. Thank you for your cooperation.
