SE: Can Associated partners linked to a beneficiary host secondments?

Associated partners linked to a beneficiary cannot host secondments in the sense of legal/ contractual link – they cannot handle funding allocated for seconded staff – this is the responsibility of the beneficiary they are linked to.

However, associated partners linked to a beneficiary can host secondments in the sense of the actual work carried out in the premises of such associated partners. Funding for research (etc.) carried out by staff seconded to such associated partners is channeled through the beneficiary they are linked to.
