How could we explain imbalances between the project partners’ budgets in the application form, e.g. the Lead partner consumes 40% of the total project budget whereas the other partners only use 10%?
You should justify imbalances in the application form sections 2.1 ‘Partnership composition’ and 2.3 ‘Partnership details’ (field: “Organisation’s role in the project) so that we can see were the large proportion of the project’s budget is going to. If the Lead partners budget is very large, you should also explain it e.g. through your project co-ordination strategy in work package 1.
