Welcome
This page explains how to manage Complementary activities in KA151 and KA153 projects, using a KA153, call 2023 project as an example.
Complementary activities are side activities adding value to the project and contributing to the increase of its impact (e.g., seminars, conferences, coaching sessions) and can be added and managed under the specific tab in your project.
All complementary activities must have a unique ID at project level.
The indirect costs of complementary activities cannot be higher than 7% of the direct costs. The total eligible cost of the complementary activity is 80% of the total costs (direct + indirect), and it cannot be higher than 10% of the total reported budget of the project. The total eligible amount is displayed in the project budget, and the Complementary activities will also be available in the Final report.
Complementary activities can only be managed by associated persons with edit rights in the project if the project status is Project ongoing.
In your project, click on Complementary activities in the Content menu. The Complementary Activities screen is displayed and all the complementary activities that you add will be shown here. Initially, the complementary activity list is empty. See the page List functionality in projects for additional information on the list functionalities, such as Search, Filters and the Bulk Actions.
Click on the Create button at the top right of the list to open the Complementary activity details screen.
In the details screen, fill in the fields, as required. Mandatory fields are marked with a red asterisk (*) and/or display Value missing.
The amounts entered in the budget fields can have one decimal at most, for example 100.4.
If the total costs related to all complementary activities added in the project exceed 10% of the total reported budget, a warning message is displayed under the field, and you must adjust the values for direct and/or indirect costs.
Also, you will not be able to submit the Final Report.
Once you have filled in all the mandatory information, the Save button at the bottom right corner of the screen becomes active.
Click the Save button to save the complementary activity details for your project.
A success message is displayed, and you are redirected to the list of Complementary Activities, where the newly added activity is now displayed.
Once items are added to the list, the following icons become available:
