Costs and financing. The costs of the FIPDes course are based on a number of fixed and variable costs. In addition, a number of scenarios with varying numbers of EU as well as third country students and varying distribution among institutes / institutions with higher or lower institutional fees were used to make a best estimate of the fees needed to cover the costs of FIPDes. The upper case and base case scenarios can result in either a surplus of income over costs or a deficit. Yearly adjustments in fees will be made to keep within budget or to compensate for likely events such as: • Introduction of institutional fees in institutes / institutions currently not having such fees • Yearly modification of some institutional fees Yearly, a new budget will be composed, and proposed to the Consortium Committee for approval. In case of surplus during the FIPDes period, the Consortium Committee will decide how to allocate these funds for the benefit of the FIPDes courses. In case of a surplus at the end of the FIPDes period, if any, this will be divided among the Partners in a way to be agreed upon by the Consortium Committee. The financial arrangements will be as follows: • All money (grants from EU, scholarships and subscription fees of students without scholarship, extra resources such as sponsoring) is transferred to the account of AgroParisTech, adequately labelled and solely reserved for the FIPDes Consortium. From this account, the coordinator will proceed to the following (but non exhaustive) transfers of money to students or partners, or to direct payments: • The scholarships to students (monthly scholarship, after deduction of travel- and subscription fee) are transferred on the personal European bank account of the student • Insurance coverage of student under the XX XX program according to the minimum requirements for the health and accident insurance coverage • The administrative costs for running the program (secretary work, other administrative costs, management) • All costs related to the scientific, academic or administrative coordination of the course • Meetings of the Consortium Committee and other necessary mobility costs linked to practical organisation of the course • Meetings of the Advisory Board, including travel and stay • The institutional university fees charged per individual FIPDes student by the institutes / institutions where the student is studying. The institutional university fees being different from one institution to another, they may possibly be ...

Costs and financing. 10.1. The Partner Universities undertake to distribute the income from tuition fees among them in the following manner: Out of every tuition fee, 22% are allocated to the administration of the FINDATA study programme by the Coordinator. The Coordinator thus keeps them in his account per the whole period of studies. The remaining 78% tuition fee income are distributed among all the Partner Universities according to the number of students paying the tuition effectively studying at the particular Partner University. This means in case of EUR 6000 tuition per year that EUR 660 per semester is kept by the Coordinator (irrespective of where the student is studying) and the Partner University teaching the student receives in the particular semester receives EUR 2,340 per this student and semester.
10.2. In case of a student not paying the tuition fee because of being granted the EMJM grant the distribution percentage is similar as in the situation of a student paying the tuition. The Partner Universities expect that the grant should be EUR 9,000 per student and 12 months (EUR 4,500 per semester). Then the Coordinator keeps EUR 1,000 per semester to cover his administrative costs and each EMJM student and the Partner University which teaches the student receives EUR 3,500 per that semester.
10.3. The insurance of EMJM scholarship holders according to Sec. 12.7 shall be covered from the EUR 1,000 kept by the Coordinator. The Partner Universities should take all reasonable efforts to seek the most effective way of insuring the students. The Coordinator will send the money together with the contribution for teaching upon a receipt provided by the Partner University.
10.4. For the purposes of finance distribution, the Partner Universities agree that supervising a Master Diploma Thesis during the fourth semester is equal to teaching the student the whole semester during the first, second and third semester.
10.5. As the number of students in the third semester taught by LUMSA and Vilnius University shall be approximately one half of the students of the intake due to their split in specialisations, the Partner Universities have agreed that LUMSA and Vilnius University shall each supervise approximately 1/3 of the total number of Master Diploma Theses. UPCE and European University Cyprus shall each supervise approximately 1/6 of the total number of Master Diploma Theses. This way the total income from teaching of each Partner University shall be reasonably similar. Model...
Costs and financing. Financial administration of the programme is carried out by the coordinating university (UGent) in agreement with decisions made by the MB. This task is entrusted to the International Training Centre (ITC) at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering at UGent, which manages and coordinates all English taught master programmes at the Faculty, including 3 EMJMD programmes. The ITC will handle all administrative and organisational issues relating to the programme. The coordinator provides a financial overview to the MB at the MB meetings and whenever the MB requests so. A dedicated account will be opened for the programme at each partner university, under control of the respective financial services. The programme’s budget is managed by the Programme Secretariat according to the Financial and Administrative Handbook of the EACEA. Financial transactions are clearly earmarked and registered. By law, the finances of public universities in Flanders are supervised by a Commissioner of the Flemish Community, continuously following up the activities. The coordination secretariat is responsible for operating an open accounting system for the partners, allowing full transparency of money flows and internal and external control.

The credits for internship and master dissertation are assigned to the partner that takes up the supervision/promotership of the internship/dissertation. The tuition fees are calculated according to the rules established in Annex 1. The exact scales can be adapted yearly and need to be ratified by the MB before the start of each new academic year. Deviations exceeding 15% of the total initial tuition require an amendment to this article, after approval from the Management Board and the governing body of the institution organising the master’s programme.2 Due tuition fees are paid from the programme account to the respective partner universities. The payment is transferred on presentation of an official invoice to Ghent University, with mention of the VAT number, and no earlier than the start of the semester at the particular partner institute. The payments should be executed within one month. UGent does not charge any overhead on these transfers from the consortium ac...
Costs and financing. The financial balance of the JEM-FIPDes programme is submitted to a yearly reassessment so as to take into account the variability of resources, expenses and specific constraints, while responding to governance and strategic directions the Consortium agrees on. The current rule is to transfer a lump sum per student per academic registration. A compulsory financial check will be done during the selection process to ensure that no losses will occur regarding the M2 mobility pathway, with a specific focus on Food Packaging Design pathway. Resources and costs of the programme were identified: - Resources: varying amount of subscription fees paid by EU as well as non-EU students (subscription fees can be higher than the national/institutional tuition fees paid by regular university students not participating to this Joint European programme, as they benefit from a specific highly integrated programme as well as extra services), scholarships, sponsorship, etc. - Costs: joint academic and management costs (including insurance coverage of student according to the minimum requirements for the health and accident coverage, FIPDes week and diploma ceremony, coordination costs), lump sum transferred to consortium operating partners, any specific costs related to the strategic plan. As the national institutional tuition fees charged for joint programs by institutions are different due to differences in national policies (Annex 4 – table 2), the principle of a lump sum per student per academic registration in one operating Partner (Annex 4 – table 1) is the prevailing business model. On the date of signature of the current agreement, this lump sum is worth 4000€ and covers at least the value of national fees. Concerning Lund University, it provides on the whole a level of income in line with local rules regarding the numbers and categories of students enrolled. In case of regulatory changes in national policies impacting the consortium business model, the consortium operating partners agree on negotiating the best possible fees for FIPDes students. Any substantial change in national fees or regulation that would impair financial sustainability and induce a reassessment of FIPDes business model entails a financial amendment to the current consortium agreement. Each operating partner decides on its own on how this lump sum is used, understanding that the European financial guidelines, agreed as standards by the consortium, are respected. For all purposes European JEM-FIPD...
