    The European Commission has decided that the calculation of indirect costs (based on a flat rate of 60% of direct costs) will continue until the end of the 7th Framework Programme.

    The Technische Universitaet Dresden will therefore use the flat rate of 60% of eligible direct costs (excluding costs for sub-contracts) for the calculation of indirect costs for calls for proposals with deadlines after 31st December 2009.



    Successful GPM certification


    We proudly announce that, again, an EPC employee, Mr. Sven Kreigenfeld, successfully passed the certification as a Project Management Associate according to GPM/IPMA.

    The „Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement e.V.“ certifies according to the international Competence Baseline. It builds the basis for the worldwide acceptance of the national programmes for the qualification and certification of project management staff over four qualification and competence levels. These are adjusted between the International Project Management Association and its approximately 40 subsidiaries and are described in the so-called IPMA Validated Four Level Certification System (4-L-C).

    Medium-term, the EPC aims for the certification of all employees.



    Funding of "University and Research in Saxony" by the European Social Fund


    The new guideline of the SMWK about the funding of the co-financed programme by the European Social Fund in the field of “University and Research” in Saxony (RL ESF University and Research) as well as the administrative regulation “ESF University and Research” were established on 24 June 2008.

    The ESF funding targets at improving the skilled employee potential and the knowledge and know-how transfer between universities, universities of cooperative education, research facilities and companies in Saxony. Furthermore the entry chances of academics in the Saxon job market and its mobility within the job market shall be improved (compare RL ESF page 2). In the research funding period from 2007 until 2013, Saxony grants allowance for single projects related to employment policies from funds of the ESF and additional region funds.
