This page gives researchers an overview of the latest information regarding project calls, deadlines, legal issues, events and more. Also check our weekly TechTransfer News for updates.

CONTRACTUAL CONSEQUENCES

Current circumstances and measures taken to combat COVID-19 can make the timely and correct implementation of your current research project more difficult or even temporarily impossible.
In the event that you are temporarily unable to correctly carry out your project activities and cannot rearrange them in the remaining agreed term of the project, it is recommended to contact the funding agency or contract partner to make arrangements about further implementation of the project.
