Unfortunately, the review rounds have closed and there will be no more rounds. No more funds can be applied for because of this.
In order to distribute the available funds fairly among the applicants, a distribution key was used. A minimum of 1 million euros was available. For each round of assessment, the total amount for that round was announced.
