For Workshop Organisers: Submitting a Budget

Click on "myCUSO" in the navigation bar, then on "Organizer" and finally on "Budgets" to access the page "Demande de budget pour une activité." Then click on "nouveau" in the top right corner and type the year in the first box and the (provisional) name of your activity in the second one. Once you confirm by clicking on "créer," you create a form which you can fill in with all the necessary information.

Please indicate who the responsible advanced researcher is and note as precisely as possible how long the proposed event lasts (days and hours). Make sure to fill in both the descriptive boxes (left) and the budgeted total amounts (small boxes right) so that it is clear on what basis the budgeted totals are calculated.

Clicking on the button "Mettre à jour les modifications" at the bottom of the form updates your budget calculations. In order to save the inserted information it is important that you always first click on "mettre à jour" and then on "sauvegarde finale et retour vers la liste."

Once the form is ready, tick the box "Soumettre ce budget à la coordination du programme" before clicking on "mettre à jour" and then on "sauvegarde finale," which will allow the programme coordinator to review the budget. 

When putting together your budget, you might find it helpful to consult this model budget with explanations in English. For more detailed information concerning CUSO regulations, consult the Management Directives above.
