Step 2: EU - Horizon Europe
All Horizon Europe projects must be signed by the Vice-Chancellor, regardless of the budget amount. The reason for this is that there is a mutual dependence and responsibility between the partners for all work packages. As a result, all partners can risk being financially affected if a party fails to achieve satisfactory results in their commitment. This also applies when the own part of the project is small in relation to the whole.
