DN: Can coordinators ask a percentage of indirect costs from beneficiaries for project management and if yes, how much can they ask for?

It is common practice for consortia to reallocate some of the Management costs of the beneficiaries to the coordinator. This has to be agreed during the proposal-writing phase to avoid misunderstandings, and fixed in the Consortium Agreement. There are different situations and the percentage of reallocation may vary. The money can be used to hire a Project Manager for example. Some consortia also reallocate a percentage of the Research, Training and Networking costs, to cover for the centrally organised joint activities of the network.
