    Negotiate consortium agreement

    The relevant support services below are in charge of the process of negotiating the consortium agreement. Re-budgeting is needed if the final, granted amount is different from the amount applied for. Awarded EU projects receive the funding described in the application, hence, no re-budgeting is needed. In the case that the project requires resources from both UiO-MED and OUS, but only one of the institutions is an independent partner, a collaboration agreement must be written, using the standard template.
