The costs in this category cover the costs that a third party has for resources it contributes to the action (i.e. made available for use by the project). In Horizon 2020 this could be made available for free or against payment. This can include incorporation of a seconded personnel in the project, made available by a third party, or for example the use of lab equipment made available by the third party.
It is still possible in Horizon Europe to work with in-kind contributions, though it is categorised in a different way than in Horizon 2020 since no specific article for in-kind contribution exists anymore.
The notion of ‘in-kind contributions’ against payment does not exist anymore in the Corporate Grant Agreement of Horizon Europe. In-kind contribution can only refer according to the Financial Regulation to in-kind contributions free-of-charge (see in beneath).
If there is second personnel from a third party you will count on, then this should be included as your personnel cost under category A, but under personnel categery A3 in the budget table “seconded personnel”. If you will use equipment or hire a service, then it should be included under the purchase costs.
This is in the program period 2021-2027 solely possible in Horizon Europe. In the AMGA on page 9 (and further in art 6(1) and art 9(2)) dedicated explanation is given. The costs must be declared in the relevant cost category depending on the type of cost (as for “in-kind contribution against payment”) as if they are costs of the beneficiaries themselves. So seconded personnel should be included as category personnel cost A3.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
