NEW PRAG 2021: get all the novelties on EU Grants management (webinar)
Ad hoc webinar session to get a complete overview of PRAG key changes affecting Grants’ management
Course Description
The new PRAG 2021 has been launched by the EU on the 15th December 2021. A few changes have been made to the rules on the award and management of EU Grants.
In this webinar, we will investigate the impact of these modifications in your daily work. In particular, we will discover the changes related to the adoption of the new MFF 2021-2027 (e.g. new application of the rule of origin, additional situations for which grants’ direct award is possible etc.), the new ‘SEA-H self-assessment questionnaire’ and some novelties concerning the use of SCOs. We will also analyse the modifications applied to some of the key templates (e.g. the Guidelines for applicants, the logframe matrix etc.) and to the Grant Contract annexes, in particular the ‘General Conditions’ (Annex II) and the ‘Procurement rules for beneficiaries ’ (Annex IV).
