Conditions16

Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant type
Eligible applicant is the coordinator of an EDIH selected in the specified Polish preselection and subsequent European Commission DEP competition, covering Poland, with its EC grant agreement signed or committed to be signed before the FENG agreement. If EDIH comprises several entities, only the lead partner applies.
Application restriction
Applications are accepted 24 September 2026 through 28 October 2026, by 16:00 on the last day; the current regulation permits changes only under stated conditions.
Application restriction
The application instructions ask applicants to explain material features of personnel costs; they give the contract type as an example of a feature to state where relevant. They do not require one specified contract form or establish that this example must be repeated as a separate field for every personnel cost.
Eligible project scope
The FENG project must align with and be feasible against the corresponding DEP project, including the same tasks, resources and objective of providing services to SMEs, under an EC agreement signed or to be signed before the FENG agreement.
Other condition
The central portal HTML states “20 mln zł” but also spells the amount as “sto milionów złotych” (PLN 100 million). The current call-specific PARP regulation §1.8 and announcement state PLN 20 million (dwadzieścia milionów); this packet uses PLN 20 million as the operative source and records the portal inconsistency.
Other condition
For each eligible cost, FENG and Digital Europe Programme (DEP) support together cannot exceed 100%; FENG finances only the complement not covered by DEP.
Other condition
Instructions map DEP Personnel to FENG remuneration and DEP subcontracting to feasibility-study, advisory/equivalent, expert/legal and training services. The mapping is illustrative and must not be applied automatically; each cost needs category checking against the call rules.
Other condition
For preparation and assessment, the call fixes EUR conversion at PLN 4.3445 per EUR, the NBP average exchange rate published on 15 September 2026.
Other condition
FENG contribution is strictly below 100% of eligible project costs; no single exact universal maximum percentage is stated in the reviewed call regulation.
Other condition
Eligible expenditure should include VAT only where the entity cannot recover or deduct it.
Other condition
The reviewed announcement table states no minimum or maximum eligible-cost value; the 20 million PLN amount is call-wide, and no individual-project maximum grant amount was found in the reviewed call sources.
Other condition
The current central catalogue identifies this call as 2.22; the operative PARP regulation and announcement identify the same EDIH co-financing intake as FENG.02.22-IP.02-002/26. The review envelope retains the exact central catalogue identifier 2.22.
Other condition
For reimbursement evidence, employee wage/non-payroll costs require payroll lists and employee timesheets; external expert remuneration requires accounting documents (invoices or equivalent) plus documents confirming service purchase and performance. This is documentation, not a compensation rate or contract entitlement.
Partner requirement
The application and partnership agreement must assign eligible costs, value/intensity/type of aid and transfer grant amounts to each partner; the coordinator transfers partner-awarded funds from its received account to partner accounts and cannot directly pay partner costs such as partner-employee wages.
Partner requirement
If the EDIH is created by more than one entity, the applicant must use the partnership-project form; minimum partnership agreement terms are in Annex 1.
Staff restriction
The call disapplies the standard national guideline definition of project personnel for this action; eligible project-personnel costs are those approved by the EC in DEP budget category “Personnel”. This does not itself prohibit hiring; it ties FENG eligibility to that approved DEP category.
Amounts and costs5
Catalogue budget
PLN 20,000,000

Figure as listed by the provider. Whether it is the total allocation or a per-project cap is unverified unless a reviewed condition says so.

Eligible cost
Only eligible costs of the DEP project that are necessary for EDIH activity serving the digital transformation of businesses are eligible under this call.
Eligible cost
Personnel costs are eligible only when approved by the European Commission within the corresponding DEP project budget category “Personnel”; the national call does not establish independent job titles or person-specific salary maxima.
Eligible cost
The call also lists fixed-asset acquisition/depreciation, qualifying IP, necessary services, official-rate business travel, specified internally produced/shared goods and services, visiting-team accommodation, supplies/communications/IP protection/certifications/guarantees, and indirect costs; each remains subject to the DEP approved budget and national eligibility conditions.
Eligible cost limit
7 percent_of_direct_costs

Up to 7% of actual direct costs, capped at PLN equivalent of indirect costs approved in the DEP budget. The instructions define one aggregated flat-rate amount for each implementer (applicant or partner); it is not compensation.

Eligible cost limit
7 percent_of_eligible_direct_costs

Flat-rate indirect-cost pool only, not an individual compensation percentage; must correspond to costs approved by the EC in the DEP project category “Indirect costs”.

Personnel and services2

  • Other role

    Service the grant can fund

    This describes service procurement, not employment or salary. Only necessary services consistent with the DEP project and call national rules are eligible. No role roster, headcount, FTE, duration, or salary rate is specified.

  • Other role

    Staff cost the grant can fund

    This is an eligibility category, not a required hire or a roster. Eligibility depends on EC approval of this personnel cost in the DEP project. No headcount, FTE, duration, contract form, or individual pay maximum is established here. General salary costs plus non-payroll labor costs, including social and health contributions, are listed. The call excludes the standard national personnel-definition guideline for this action, so do not infer broader fundability beyond the DEP-approved Personnel budget.
