PROGRAMME MEASURES IN RELATION TO CORONAVIRUS EMERGENCY
In the context of the global health emergency, ADRION Managing Authority provides the following information for ensuring project implementation.
In this regard, we are addressing some issues you may need to deal with and find out together possible alternative solutions.
As a general recommendation, we suggest that you keep the communication with your partners active through online meetings in order to discuss and plan your project’s activities. Take advantage of free online platforms for videoconference and document sharing in order to ease as much as possible communication and compensate meetings’ cancellation. Indeed, COVID 19 health emergency may affect and impact heavily on your project activities, but we encourage you to keep your schedule ongoing and continue work on the project implementation.
If you have used financial resources for scheduled activities which had to be cancelled due to the health emergency, they can be accounted as eligible.

a) the expenditure refers to an activity foreseen in the Application Form of the project or authorised by the Joint Secretariat;

c) the expenditure has been paid by the beneficiary and evidence is provided;
d) all possible means to obtain a reimbursement have been set in place by the beneficiary and evidence is provided (through e.g.: copies of sent communications, copies of web screen shots of travel companies where information on reimbursement is provided etc.);
