I havent’ had any direct problems, only hearing from you. Just some points from before and thoughts on budgets and grant support. </div>

yeah, that's what I have tried to politely explain a few times. I worked in universities where that was the case. not here ☹️</div>

If doubts about the team lunch for kick-off (for example), why not just try it and if there is an audit (which will occur in any case) let the auditor decide whether it's eligible or not. Can the university give a list of types of expenditure that they consider
as non-eligible for ERC funding?</div>

You received a budget for indirect costs from ERC (25%). Do you have access to the full 25% or does the university keeps these indirect costs fully? Can this indirect cost budget be used for costs that are considered as non-eligible by UvA? </div>
</li></ol>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(199, 37, 18);">
The 25% of the grant (more than 600K) goes to the UvA entirely, to pay for the grant support! These are the rules, no deviation possible.</div>

Overview of budget including current expenditure and forecast with already reserved with already reserved personnel costs (do you actually manage to spend the budget you have when the grant office keeps refusing? This should also be in line with the project
timeline/personnel capacity planning. Once the project is completed, the budget is also supposed to be fully spent and reported accordingly. </div>
