Horizon Europe Consortium Agreement when applying the Lump sum model

A Consortium Agreement is an agreement between members of the consortium, to set out their internal arrangements for implementing the project and the administration of the EU grant. We have a dedicated article describing the Consortium Agreement in general here. This article focuses on the unique attributes that one should take into consideration when drafting a consortium agreement in projects that implement the “Lump sum” funding model. In this article, we refer also to aspects raised by DESCA, the leading model of Consortium Agreement in Horizon Europe. DESCA has been updated to include special instructions when implementing a lump sum project.
