Conference on Full costing: best practice in Europe

The aim of this conference was to present existing full costing models from different European institutions (mainly universities) and thus help other institutions in the development of their own full costing methodologies. Speakers from the Netherlands, Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Austria and Portugal shared their experiences in the development, implementation and running of full costing systems. Also, some of the speakers shared their experiences during the certification of their methodologies (CoM) for indirect costs by the European Commission (EC), for the purpose of the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Development (FP7). In addition the European Commission presented its view on the full costing issue.
