OTHER TERMS
Please download and use the below attached Identification Form in order to submit your proposal. Only proposals duly prepared and submitted in this form and in line with these instructions will be admitted for evaluation. Project calculations in terms of financial requirements should be filled in using either USD, EUR, or THB as project currencies in order to facilitate conversion to CZK. Please, do not fill in the financial requirements in CZK, as this will be added later.
Please bear in mind that currency fluctuations need to be taken into account. Contracts for awarded LTPs will be quoted in CZK. The approved CZK amount is final and cannot be changed.
