Some notices Financial management You should inform us if: There is a change of contact (researcher, accountant, head of your organisation, …) The name of your organisation changes Your adress, phone or e-mail changes Your legal representative changes Your bank account changes

REQUESTED DOCUMENTS Notice: At the moment we do not have new templates for supporting documents (IMR, Staff Convention, ...), but we can examine template documents of previous Tempus projects.

Coding SC and IMR documents EXAMPLE 1: If we have documents, referring to Staff Costs (SC), we use next approach for coding Convention Staff document. P3 is a third participant of the project. In our case, that is University of Novi Sad. P3 – SC – 001 P3-order number of participants SC-Staff Costs (Budget Headings) 001÷100 we use three or four digits, depending on how many of these documents you expect by the end of the project. EXAMPLE 2: If we have documents, referring to Travel Costs and Costs of Stay, we use next approach for coding Individual Mobility Report (IMR): P3 – IMR – 001 IMR-Travel Costs and Costs of Stay (Budget Headings)

561586-EPP-1-2015-1-RS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP Example 1 and 2 P3 – SC – 001 561586-EPP-1-2015-1-RS-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
