The budget line for preparatory training organised by the partners has been removed and is no longer part of the standard budget.
It is still possible to apply for funding to conduct preparatory training under additional funding if the partnership fullfill certain criteria and can document a need for additional training.

Exchange coordination and support
The two budget lines on administrative support have been replaced by a one budget line at the end of the budget template.

The partnership can distribute the amount among the partners as they see fit and according to the level of responsibility the partners have in the project.
