Information for projects
The Frequently Asked Questions section of the Funding and Tenders portal now includes answers to a number of questions on the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on ongoing Horizon 2020 projects, including:
- What happens to costs in Horizon 2020 grants when there are difficulties in implementing the action due to the Covid-19 situation?
- Is there any possibility to extend the project duration of Horizon 2020 grants due to the Covid-19 situation?
- Related to the Covid-19 outbreak, how will the funding bodies handle possible delays in submitting deliverables and reports in Horizon 2020 grants?
The Funding and Tenders Portal also features a European Research Area corona platform, which lists all updates on Horizon 2020 Call deadlines; a link to the FAQ; and news and information about initiatives and organisations fighting the COVID-19 outbreak.
