When entering into agreements for projects within Horizon Europe

The Office for Research, Engagement and Innovation Services (REIS) will assist you with all relevant agreements when you have received notification that your Horizon Europe project has been granted funding.

Internationally funded research projects, including those funded by the EU, constitute a commitment for the whole University. The University administration handles the preparation of contracts and agreements (e.g. “Grant Agreement Preparation”) in cooperation with the department where the project is placed. The different stages leading up to the signing of an agreement are presented in the table below. The Contracts team at REIS ensures that each stage in the work process is carried out until the agreement has been signed and a project account has been set up in the University’s financial management system. 

The head of REIS signs all EU agreements on delegation from the President, after approval from the head of department and in consultation with the Deputy Vice President concerned. The researcher in charge of the project must obtain approval of the project application from their head of department (or the equivalent) already during the application stage. The researcher is also responsible for reviewing the agreement from their own perspective as principal investigator. A legal advisor from the Office of the President performs a legal review of some agreements. The economic / financial parts of the agreement are reviewed by the financial officer of the department (or the equivalent). This whole process is coordinated by the Contracts team.
