COFUND: What does the ‘Choose Europe for Science’ allowance cover?

The ‘Choose Europe for Science’ allowance constitutes EUR 6 700 per recruited researcher per month during the first phase of the project (24 or 36 months). The allowance can be used to cover any cost category.
Note that this amount is the minimum monthly gross remuneration (i.e. salaries, social security contributions, taxes and other costs or compulsory deductions under national legislation linked to remuneration) applicable for researchers recruited under the Choose Europe for Science Programmes and is inclusive of the mobility allowance. If the Beneficiary decides to use the allowance for covering part of the institutional costs (costs related to the training, research expenses, activities related to networking of researchers and transfer of knowledge, costs of managing the action and indirect costs), then it must use other sources for topping up the minimum monthly gross remuneration of EUR 6 700.
