    • project objectives;

    • project management;

    • budget;

    • financing;

    • progress plan;

    • reporting requirements.

  • The project description: this has been submitted together with the final version of the grant application, after the revision process is completed;

  • The General Terms and Conditions for R&D Projects: these are the Research Council’s standard terms and conditions and are applicable to all R&D projects, unless otherwise specifically agreed on.

In the event that there is conflict between the documents, the agreement document will take precedence.

Adjustments to the General Terms and Conditions

The Research Council adjusts the General Terms and Conditions for R&D projects when this is necessary. The version of the General Terms and Conditions that was in force when you applied for funding will be applicable for your entire project period.
