Interreg NEXT: Simplified Cost Options in a nutshell

Simplified Cost Options in Interreg NEXT

Course objectives:

If you are an Interreg NEXT programme representative or a potential project beneficiary with little to no experience in the topic, the course will explain basics of the SCOs using examples in the context of cross-border cooperation. By finishing the course, you should be able to distinguish the differences between the real costs and the SCOs, have knowledge on the types of SCOs and have an insight to the calculation approach.

If you are already familiar with the SCOs, you will be able:

to learn more about the preferred choices of SCOs in the future NEXT programmes and the approach / methods used to choose and develop the most appropriate SCOs;
to learn how the SCOs can work in the context of the project budget.

After finishing the course, the TESIM team will provide you with a Learner's Diploma!
