The European Commission uses lump sum funding as a means of simplifying EU grants. Following a pilot under the final three years of the Horizon 2020 programme, which found that the approach was generally popular among users, lump sum funding has been gradually introduced more widely in Horizon Europe. A report was prepared by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research and Innovation. It aims to follow up on 2021 assessment of lump sum funding (1) with a new, indepth analysis of lump sum grants, based on comprehensive data and extensive surveys of participants and experts.
