Covid19 and risk of delays

With the current situation caused by Covid19 in Denmark and the rest of the world, we are experiencing some inquiries about network activities that cannot be completed as planned.
Grant holders who face such challenges can apply for an extension via the E-grant portal. Delays due to postponement of travel and other activities as a result of the Covid19 situation are, in gereneral, valid justification for extensions. We advise that you apply for extension when the situation is normalized and the full extent of the caused delay is know, unless your grant expires before that, in which case you should apply no later than one month prior to the previously agreed end date.
