Both applications from single applicants and consortia are acceptable.

Consortia are eligible to participate in the IMREG-2025-INFOME call. There are no particular conditions restricting the composition of a consortium. All co-applicants should comply with all the requirements of the call, including those for eligibility.

Example (subcontracts): Subcontract to organise a conference that is set as part of the tasks in the description of the action.

Example (contracts/purchases): contract for an audit certificate on the financial statements; contract for the translation of documents; contract for the publication of brochures; contract for the creation of a website that enables the beneficiaries to work together (if creating the website is just a project management tool and not a separate subcontracted ‘action task’); contract for organisation of the rooms and catering for a meeting (if the organisation of the meeting is not a separate subcontracted ‘action task’); contract for hiring IPR consultants/agents needed for the project.

Travel and subsistence costs are calculated on the basis of unit or actual costs.

The costs must be calculated, for each travel and person travelling, in accordance with the methodology set out in the Commission decision C(2024) 5405 finalPDF and Annex 2a of the IMREG MGA - Multi & Mono V1.0PDF. Detailed explanations on unit cost calculation are provided in "Article 6.2.C.1 Travel and subsistence" of the EU Grants AGA — Annotated Model Grant AgreementPDF.

The choice of the calculator (flight or rail calculator) would depend on the usual practice of the entity for such travels - by airplane or by train, i.e. it is for the applicant to choose according to their usual practice.

The use of unit costs covering travel and subsistence costs is compulsory except for travels to countries not indicated in the Commission decision C(2024) 5405 finalPDF. In this case, the actual costs approach is to be applied.

Financial support to third parties is not applicable to this call. Therefore no costs for financial support to third parties should be included in the budget table.

If the activity report is not finalised yet for 2025, the report for 2024 may be accepted.
