Subcontracting costs do not include overheads. Total direct costs = personnel + material direct costs. Include all project cost = EC contribution + matching funds EC requested funding (without overheads) = 25% overheads will be applied to the EC requested funding 6 Peter Forck & Rahul Singh, I.FAST-REX Kick-off Meeting 8th of February 2021
