What does in-house staff mean? Is there a maximum percentage for it?
The in-house staff is the staff of each partner of the project, employed with a regular work contract. If some members of this staff specifically work on the project, this cost can be partly considered. The calculation must be based on the hourly rate resulting from the actual personnel cost of the claimed period divided by the total number of hours worked by the personnel members for the partner institution (not the time worked for the project, but the total hours worked during the period). This hourly rate is then multiplied by the number of hours actually dedicated to the project activities. In this case, administrative documents have to prove the detailed expenses specifying the activities, the hourly or daily rate (coherent with the ordinary salary) and the number of hours for each activity financed. No, there is not a maximum percentage envisaged for this cost category.
