Guidelines For Use of The Grant
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. COMPOSITION AND MODIFICATION OF THE PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS
1.1 Institutions from the following countries may participate in Tempus projects but only on a
self-financing basis: Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, the EFT A
countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland).
1.2 Any proposed modification to the project beneficiaries must be signalled and requires prior
approval by the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency. The following requirements are
necessary for the different modifications to the project partnership:
Addition of a co-beneficiary requires a mandate signed between the co-ordinator and the new
co-beneficiary and acceptance letters from all other co-beneficiaries signed by the contact
persons. These should be forwarded by the co-ordinator with the request.
Withdrawal of a co-beneficiary requires written explanation from the co-ordinator and a
withdrawal letter from the withdrawing co-beneficiary, signed by the legal representative.
Where the minimum partnership requirements are no longer fulfilled, the Education,
Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency reserves the right to decide on the continuation of
the agreement.
Changes of contact person for the co-ordinator require written confirmation signed by the new
contact person, the legal representative and the former contact person of the co-ordinator.
1.3 Subcontracting may only be considered for specific, time-bQund, project-related tasks which
cannot be performed by the Consortium members themselves. In all cases, prior written authorisation
from the Agency must be obtained.
2. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
2.1 Readable copies (not originals) of the required supporting documents - detailed in the boxed
text below - must be sent with the submission of the Final report and financial statement. Please note
that, if there are doubts on any particular point, the Agency may request that all the supporting
documents be forwarded.
2.2 Submitting the required supporting documents is an integral part of the agreement obligations
and failure to submit one or more documents may lead to a request for reimbursement of the
corresponding expenses.
2.3 Whilst the Agency only requires copies of subcontracts and invoices to be sent when the
threshold of EUR 25 000 is exceeded in the Equipment, Printing and Publishing or Other costs
headings, please be aware that quotations from at least three suppliers must obtained for all purchases
in excess of EUR 25 000, irrespective of the budget heading. Documentation on the tendering
procedure and the three quotations must be retained with the project accounts in all cases.
2.4 For grants of EUR 750 000 or more, an external audit report on the action's financial statement
and underlying accounts must be sent with the Final report and the required supporting documents.
3.1 The grant may be used to cover the cost of staff for all beneficiaries* when they are
performing administrative or academic tasks which are directly necessary to the achievement of the
objective of the project, and on the condition that their salary for the same tasks is compensated only
once.
Salaries and fees may not exceed local rates; this applies both to European Union and Partner
Countries. Staff costs must correspond to the costs incurred by the institutions and to the employing
institution's usual policy on remuneration, comprising actual salaries plus social security charges and
other statutory costs included in the remuneration. Non statutory costs are excluded. Moreover,
additional hours will be financed at the normal hourly rate and not at any higher rate. Staff costs
should be calculated on the basis of the task performed and not on the status of the person. Maximum
rates for daily staff costs are indicated in Annex 3 of these guidelines (to calculate the hourly rate,
please divide by 7.5). The rate for the country in which the beneficiary organisation is registered will
be applied, independently of where the tasks are executed. Higher rates may be applied where this is
common practice and can be duly justified by supporting documents (for example, a payslip proving
that a higher wage was paid to the person concerned for a previous and similar task).
3.2 A duly filled out staff convention (Annex l of these guidelines) for each person employed by
the project must be attached to the project accounts and retained by the co-ordinator as supporting
1
documents. The conventions must be signed by the person concerned, then signed and stamped by the
person responsible in the institution where this person is normally employed. For staff performing
both administrative and academic tasks a separate convention must be signed for each type of activity.
The grant may be used to cover the personnel cost of replacing European Union Member State
academic staff who are on a teaching mission/training assignment in the Partner Countries for a
minimum continuous period of one month and up to a maximum of ten months. Costs can only be
covered when the staff members have actually been replaced for the period of time in question.
Supporting documents to this effect must be retained with the project accounts.
Replacement costs must correspond to the costs incurred by the institution and to the employing
institution's usual policy on remuneration, comprising actual salaries plus social security charges and
other statutory costs included in the remuneration. Non-statutory costs are excluded. Maximum rates
for daily staff costs are indicated in Annex 3 of these guidelines. The rate of the country in which the
person is replaced will be applied. Higher rates may be applied where this is common practice and can
be duly justified by supporting documents (for example, a payslip proving that a higher wage was paid
to the person concerned for a previous and similar task).
3.4 A confirmation from the Member State institution that the vacated role was filled for the
period in question, together with a duly filled out convention (for the member of staff filling the
vacated role) must be retained with the project accounts. The conventions (Annex 1 of these
guidelines) must be signed by the person concerned, then signed and stamped by the responsible
person in the institution where this person has been employed.
3.6 Supporting documents should not be sent1AI with the financial statement. The following
should, however, be retained with the project accounts :
At this stage, the services of the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency will take note of
the expenses for which copies of supporting documents are not required on the basis of financial
statements (lists of expenses) sent by the co-ordinator (see Annex IV of the Grant Agreement- "Final
Report") . Executive Agency staff will examine these lists in detail to verify the eligibility of expenses.
If there are doubts on any particular point, the Agency may request that all the supporting documents
be forwarded.
!Ail, Where a higher salary rate (see Annex 3 ofthese guidelines) has been applied, supporting
documents such as a payslip proving that a higher wage was paid to the person concerned for a
previous and similar task.
4.1 This budget heading is intended as a contribution towards travel and costs of stay (including
travel, accommodation, subsistence, personal or health insurance costs and entrance visas) of staff and
students participating in the project. The responsibility for ensuring adequate insurance arrangements
lies with the beneficiaries.
4.2 Travel for research activities cannot be financed from the Tempus grant.
Only people under official contract in the beneficiary institutions may benefit from the mobility grant.
The following groups of teaching and administrative staff can benefit from the grant:
University teachers and trainers or trainers from enterprises and other institutions participating
in the project;
Officials and administrators, non-teaching university staff or staff from enterprises or other
institutions participating in the project;
Public administrations or governmental organisations (see point 3.1 of these guidelines) .
The above terms refer to the status of these people in their home institution.
The guiding principle for activities and related travel is that they are carried out on the premises of the
project beneficiaries listed in Annex V (some notable exceptions are given in the list below).
Prior authorisation from the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency is required if the
recipient of the mobility grant intends to carry out activities not described above (such as travel to or
from countries other than those participating in the project).
Travel costs cover transport at national and international level. Only actual travel costs will be
considered eligible.
Costs may be claimed only for journeys directly connected to specific and clearly identifiable
project-related activities.
Reimbursement is based on real costs, independent of the means of travel chosen (rail, bus,
taxi, plane, hire car); beneficiaries are required to use the cheapest means of travel (e.g.
Economy tickets for air travel and to take advantage of reduced fares; where this is not the
case a full explanation should be provided).
The travel cost for a journey should include all costs and means of travel from the point of
departure to the point of arrival (and return) and may include visa fees and reasonable
cancellation costs.
Expenses for travel by private car (private or company cars), where substantiated and where
the price is not excessive, will be refunded as follows (whichever the cheaper option):
- either a rate per km in accordance with the internal rules of the organisation concerned up to
a maximum ofEUR 0.22;
- or the price of a rail or bus (equivalent of a first-class fare for the same distance) or plane
ticket (see second bullet point above); only the price of one ticket will be reimbursed,
irrespective of the number of people travelling in the same vehicle.
For hire cars (maximum category B or equivalent) or taxis:
- the actual cost where this is not excessive if compared to other means of transport (also
taking into account factors such as time of day or excessive luggage);
- Reimbursement will be made for the real cost of car hire, irrespective of the number of
people travelling in the same vehicle.
Costs related to entry visas and related obligatory insurance should also be listed under this
heading.
This budget heading is meant to provide each person participating in a mobility programme with a
daily allowance to cover costs for subsistence, accommodation, local and public transport such as bus
and taxi, personal or optional health insurance etc.
Where the stay falls between the week durations indicated in the table, the upper limit will be
calculated as follows:
The figure for the shorter duration is subtracted from the figure for the longer duration. The resulting
figure divided by 7 gives the daily allowance for each day over and above the duration of the shorter
stay.
For example: For an international mobility of 17 days: (3 weeks) 2 100 - (2 weeks) 1 600 = 500.
Divided by 7 = 71.43. The costs of stay can be 1 600 + (3 x 71.43) = EUR 1 814.29 maximum.
These references are maximum rates. The amount paid should, however, be relative to the destination
(cost of living) and in accordance with the sending institution's policy.
Except in the case of a national law to the contrary, beneficiary institutions should not suspend
payment of normal salaries to their staff during time spent travelling within the framework of the
Tempus project.
4.3.4 Supporting documents should not be sent with the fmancial statement. The following should,
however, be retained with the project accounts:
../ Individual mobility reports (Annex 2 of these guidelines) together with all copies of travel
tickets, boarding passes, invoices, receipts, or for car travel a copy of the internal regulations
on the reimbursement rate per km. The aim of the supporting documentation is to demonstrate
the actual cost of the travel and the fact that the trip actually took place. When travel costs are
shared (coach), the supporting documentation (invoice) for the group should be retained and
each individual should keep a record of their share of the hire costs in the Individual mobility
report.
At this stage, the services of the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency will take note of
the expenses for which copies of supporting documents are not required on the basis of financial
statements (lists of expenses) sent by the co-ordinator (see Annex IV of the Grant Agreement - "Final
Report"). Executive Agency staff will examine these lists in detail to verify the eligibility of expenses .
If there are doubts on any particular point, the Agency may request that all the supporting documents
be forwarded.
Student travel grants may only be used for travel directly related to the project objective. The study
period or practical placement abroad should form an integral part of the student's study and should be
recognised as part of their home degree or qualification.
The guiding principle for activities and related travel is that they are carried out on the premises of the
project beneficiaries listed in Atmex V (some notable exceptions are given in the list below).
Grants may be awarded for the following types of activities. Unless otherwise specified, the duration
must be for a minimum period of two weeks, up to a maximum of three months.
Prior written authorisation from the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency is required if
the recipient of the mobility grant intends to carry out activities not described above (such as travel to
or from countries other than those participating in the project).
Student travel costs cover transport costs at national and international level. Only actual travel costs
will be eligible. Efforts should be made to make low cost travel arrangements for students.
Costs may be claimed only for student mobility directly connected to specific and clearly
identifiable project-related activities.
Reimbursement is based on real costs, independent of the means of travel chosen (rail, bus,
taxi, plane, hire car); beneficiaries are required to use the cheapest means of travel (e.g.
Economy tickets for air travel and to take advantage of reduced fares; where this is not the
case a full explanation should be provided).
The travel cost for a journey should include all costs and means of travel from the point of
departure to the point of arrival (and return) and may include visa fees and reasonable
cancellation costs.
Expenses for travel by private car (private or company cars), where substantiated and where
the price is not excessive, will be refunded as follows (whichever the cheaper option):
- either a rate per krn in accordance with the internal rules of the organisation concerned up to
a maximum ofEUR 0.22;
- or the price of a rail or bus (equivalent of a first-class fare for the same distance) or plane
ticket (see second bullet point above); only the price of one ticket will be reimbursed,
irrespective of the number of people travelling in the same vehicle.
This budget heading is meant to provide each person participating in a mobility programme with an
allowance to cover costs for subsistence, accommodation, local and public transport such as bus and
taxi, personal or optional health insurance etc.
The calculation of costs for stays falling between full month durations should be proportionate with
the monthly amount indicated above. For example: 17 days costs of stay in the EU = (EUR 1 200:30)
x 17 days = EUR 680 maximum.
These references are maximum rates. The amount paid should, however, be relative to the destination
(cost of living) and in accordance with the sending institution's policy.
Where a student is on mobility within their own country, the co-ordinator should pay reasonable costs
and may in no circumstance exceed the ceiling given above. A student attending a different institution
but who is still able to travel from home on a daily basis should not be counted as 'on mobility' and
therefore should not be entitled to 'costs of stay' under the Tempus grant.
4.4.4 Supporting documents should not be sent with the financial statement. The following should,
however, be retained with the project accounts:
../ Individual mobility reports (Annex 2 of these guidelines) together with all copies of travel
tickets, boarding passes, invoices and receipts, or for car travel a copy of the internal
regulations on the reimbursement rate per km. The aim of the supporting documentation is to
demonstrate the actual cost of the travel and the fact that the trip actually took place. When
travel costs are shared (coach), the supporting documentation (invoice) for the group should
be retained and each individual should keep a record of their share of the hire costs in the
Individual mobility report.
At this stage, the services of the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency will take note of
the expenses for which copies of supporting documents are not required on the basis of financial
statements (lists of expenses) sent by the co-ordinator (see Annex IV of the Grant Agreement - "Final
implementation report, summary report for publication and financial statement"). Executive Agency
staff will examine these lists in detail to verify the eligibility of expenses. If there are doubts on any
particular point, the Agency may request that all the supporting documents be forwarded.
5. EQUIPMENT
5.1 Only the purchase of equipment which is directly relevant to the objectives of the project can
be considered as eligible expenditure. This could include, for example, books and periodicals, fax
machines, photocopying machines, computers and peripherals, software, machines and equipment for
teaching purposes, video-projectors (hardware) and video-presentations (software), television sets,
installing/setting up of communication lines for internet connection/Skype, access to databases
Guidelines for the Use of the Grant 7
(libraries and electronic libraries outside the partnership), consumables required to ensure the smooth
functioning of purchased equipment, equipment maintenance, insurance, transport and installation
costs.
Equipment which is not eligible under the Tempus grant cannot be co-financed and, in these cases
other sources of funding must be found.
Hiring of equipment may be considered eligible, but only in exceptional and duly justified
circumstances and provided it does not continue beyond the duration of the Grant Agreement.
5.2 For Joint Projects, equipment is intended exclusively for the Partner Country universities
which are included in the partnership where it must be installed as soon as practically possible. The
equipment must be recorded in the inventory of the universitylies where it is installed. This university
is the sole owner of the equipment.
5.3 For Structural Measures, equipment may be purchased for the Partner Country universities or
for any other Partner Country institution or organisation included in the partnership (with the
exception of public administrations or governmental organisations (see point 3.1 of these guidelines).
The equipment must be recorded in the inventory of the university/institution where it is installed. This
institution/university is the sole owner of the equipment.
5.4 Taxes, duties and charges (such as customs and import duties) are considered ineligible for the
Tempus projects. Within the framework of a Tempus project all equipment purchased and the
provision of services in the Partner Countries can be exempt from taxes (including VAT), duties and
charges, if a Common Framework agreement (Financing agreement in the case of the Partner
Countries in the Western Balkans) has been signed between the European Commission and the Partner
Country.
The co-ordinator will receive an exemption certificate from the Agency. The relevant National
Tempus Office and Department of Taxes and Custom Duties of the Ministry ofFinance in the Partner
Country where the purchase is being made can be contacted to provide the necessary information and
documents. It is however the responsibility of the coordinator to undertake all necessary measures to
be exempt from taxes (including VAT). Please refer also to point 10 (and in particular 10.3) of these
guidelines .
The said certificate cannot be used to purchase equipment or services exempt from taxes (including
VAT) within the European Union. However, equipment purchased within the EU with a view to being
immediately exported to Partner Countries in the framework of the Tempus programme may be
exempted from taxes (including VAT), duties and charges in accordance with the normal rules.
5.5 Th'e total expenses for equipment may not exceed 30% of the eligible direct costs.
5.6 Supporting documents should not be sent 1AI with the financial statement. The following

quotations or estimates are not considered as proof of expenditure) .
../ When the threshold of EUR 25 000 is exceeded, documentation on the tendering procedure
and three quotations.
At this stage, the services of the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency will take note of
the expenses for which copies of supporting documents are not required on the basis of financial
statements (lists of expenses) sent by the co-ordinator (see Annex IV of the Grant Agreement- "Final
