Editorial commentary
Each Horizon Europe consortium consists of one or more beneficiaries (and optionally affiliated entities, third parties, and subcontractors). Each beneficiary has its own budget share, work-package contribution, signed accession to the GA, and reporting obligations. The lead beneficiary is the coordinator. Beneficiaries jointly and severally bear consortium-level obligations under specified circumstances. Beneficiary status is distinct from associated partners (no funding) and from subcontractors.
