IGLO (Informal Group of RTD Liaison Offices) organised an online workshop in May 2026 with more than 60 participants reflecting on the broader implications of lump sum funding in Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 for research management and project governance. A report was edited and contained among others the following main points: positive experiences with reduced financial reporting requirements operational challenges like uncertainty regarding work package completion, and a shift of administrative effort instead of reduction organisational adaptations: increased attention to design of work packages, closer cooperation between scientific and administrative staff, growing importance of consortium agreements remaining open questions: assessment of work package completion, evidence required of project implementation, implication of budget flexibility, project closure
The restriction had applied to public interest trusts created under Hungarian law in 2021 and to organisations managed by those trusts, including some universities and research institutions. The list of institutions is available in this 2023 NCP Flanders news article. Following the EU Council decision of 13 October 2026, effective from 14 October 2026, these entities are again eligible to apply for EU-funded projects, become beneficiaries and receive funding. For ongoing projects, affected Hungarian organisations may now receive funding if the consortium formally amends the grant agreement. This change only applies from 14 October 2026 onwards, with no retroactive funding, and the overall grant amount cannot increase, so funding would need to be redistributed within the existing budget. For projects in the grant agreement preparation stage, organisations that were included only as associated partners without funding may now be added as funded beneficiaries. Coordinators are asked to contact their EU project officer to arrange the change. For new proposals, applicants may again include these Hungarian entities as funded partners in Horizon Europe and other EU-funded projects. The European Commission is expected to publish FAQs and further guidance on the Funding & Tenders Portal after the decision appears in the Official Journal of the European Union.
