Annotated Model Grant Agreement

The AGA, Annotated Model Grant Agreement, is a user guide that aims to explain to applicants and beneficiaries the General Model Grant Agreement (General MGA) and the different specific Model Grant Agreements (‘Specific MGAs’) for the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for 2014-2020(H2020).

The purpose of this document is to help users understand and interpret the GAs, by avoiding technical vocabulary, legal references and jargon, and seeking to help readers find answers to any practical questions they may have about particular parts of the GAs. In the same spirit, the document’s structure mirrors that of the GAs. It explains each GA Article and includes examples where appropriate. Since the Specific MGAs have a similar set-up and provisions as the General MGA (i.e. they are all derived from the General MGA), the annotations will focus mainly on the General MGA (and the annotations of the other MGAs will be limited to major differences from that MGA). The key provisions on the amount, cost forms and eligibility conditions of your grant are however explained for all MGAs (see Articles 4-6 of each MGA).
