SUMMA is live: Latest News and Meetings

SUMMA at RUF 

The Commission's new financial system has been fully operational since 1 January 2025 - we have now reached 100 days of SUMMA. This is of course an opportunity to share the latest developments and improvements at the April RUF (Réseau des Unités Financières) meeting. The most important news first: the system is running smoothly with no blocking issues, thanks to ongoing Hypercare support and system refinements. 

If you would like to find out more about what was discussed at the meeting, here is the SUMMA presentation and recording. You are also welcome to read the dedicated article published in the April RUF Newsletter. 

SUMMA on new BUDGpedia

Browse the SUMMA pages on the new BUDGpedia here! It will be worth it, as some content updates are coming soon - as well as a new and revamped SUMMA glossary. Stay tuned!
