17 - EXTERNAL EXPERTS/KEY STAKEHOLDERS TRAVEL EXPENSES

Is there the opportunity to cover external experts/key stakeholders travel expenses in the occasion of any relevant project meeting?
If yes could you confirm that the correct budget line for claims is the "External expertise and services"?

Travel and accommodation costs of staff of external speakers and external participants (stakeholders/target groups) in project meetings and events can be reimbursed under budget line “External Expertise and Services”. Also, the travel and accommodation costs of the involved external stakeholders/target groups are eligible if they participate in the project activities on the basis of an official invitation from LP/ PPs and if they actively contribute to the project activities (e.g. as speakers, moderators, etc.) or anyhow bring an added value to the project activities.
