Financial Reporting (NB: Not applicable for OU and UCL who I will contact separately for PM info).
This consists of 2 parts to fill in, the Excel Sheet and a Word document with narrative.
Please review in good time before Friday’s OMT meeting, so you can ask any Qs then.
Best regards
Shamim

1. Excel Sheet (figures)
* There is one tab per partner
* A notes tab for the transfers between SIMPLE/LNU/NKUA and earlier PM adjustments between WPs requested by partners
Action: On your Partner tab: Please report your costs for the 9-month period: 1 March 2024 - 30 November 2024 in the Excel in Column G.
This will automatically update columns H & I in the spreadsheet to M27 (the figures currently showing in columns H & I are those at M18)
1. Word Document (narrative)
For information only:
* Attachment 2 is what partners submitted as their expected costs in the Grant Agreement
* Attachment 3 is what was submitted at M18 in the Technical Report, re costs.
* You should read your own partner summary in attachments 2 and 3 before providing the requested narrative below for M19-M27.
Action: Please create a separate word document and provide the following information (expected length: one third to half a page narrative in total – use Arial Font 10 for your narrative)
1. For each of the three categories: Travel and Subsistence, Equipment, and Other Goods, Works and Services, write a short description of what your costs in M19-M27 consisted of. There is expected to be a connection of the costs to the work reported under the technical part!
2. For the five categories: Person Months Summary, Personnel costs, Travel and Subsistence, Equipment and Other Goods, Works and Services:
- If the total % left at M27 is > 30% or < 20% (in Column H on the excel) , provide an explanation of the deviation.
- Where the % left is >30% provide an indication of whether you will utilize the budget or not by the end of the project. Consider also whether you want to do an internal shift between budget categories and, if yes, provide reasonable justification.
1. If you received any specific comments from the EC/expert reviewers from the Period 1 formal M18 review, make sure they are also addressed.
Dear All
Information and templates for M27 internal reporting (i.e., from 1 March 2024 - 30 November 2024) will be shared in two emails that will follow.
Technical Reporting for each WP should be led by WP Leads as follows:
WP2: Sofia; WP3 &WP8, Eileen & Sagun (in Thea’s absence); WP4: Marcelo/Alisa; WP5: Chronis/Marianthi; WP6: Katrien; WP7&WP9 Jake.
The Leads should amalgamate info and request input from other partner Task leads where relevant.
Financial Reporting email should be addressed as follows:
NKUA; Marianthi; UGent: Karien; NTNU: Sofia; TCD: Jake, SIMPLE: Filothei.
OU and UCL only need to report PMs - and I will get in touch with you separately on that.
--
Please read instructions for both technical and financial reporting carefully so any questions can be answered and we can agree a timetable for submission at Friday’s OMT meeting.
A reminder:
LNU would like to check with each partner at Friday’s OMT meeting whether a “no-cost” project extension, up-to 3 months, is feasible for your organization. Whilst we would expect all partner/WP Leads to be present at the EC final project review - depending on the work/interdependencies - it should be possible too for some partners to finish at M36 as originally planned.
Best regards
