The European Court of Auditors (ECA) audits the revenue and expenditure of the EU budget and delivers its opinion on the extent to which the annual accounts are reliable, and income and spending comply with the rules and regulations. This year it includes findings from Horizon 2020 audits but also from some Horizon Europe audits. In chapter 5 (Single market, innovation and digital) the report contains the findings of ECA regarding personnel cost in research expenditure, and elaborates a.o. issues on daily rate calculations of Horizon Europe projects. ECA formulates already some recommendations towards daily rate, as eg. demanding by mid 2025 measures to enhance beneficiaries' compliance with the daily rate rules, clarification of the rules and methods for calculating the daily rate. In annexes of chapter 5 ECA recommends that experts should be required to document their assessment of the personnel cost calculation by end of 2024. The last chapter contains the replies of the European Commission, regarding Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe from p. 441 onwards. While Digital Europe as a quite new programme does not yet figure in this year’s report, the findings made for Horizon Europe can also be useful for Digital Europe applicants to consider when preparing their proposal and managing their projects.
The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
