Facts:
Agreements with co-funders
The main applicant should finalise a signed agreement with the co-funders. There are templates for this (LTV and S respectively) on www.slu.se/partnerskapalnarp. The agreement states that all parties are prepared to make available the funding and resources listed in the application. The agreement must be signed with EduSign by the main applicant, head of department and chairman of the steering group for SLU Partnership Alnarp. External partner confirms approved agreement via e-mail to main applicant who encloses email confirmation. A signed and approved agreement is sent to SLU Partnership Alnarp no later than three months after the decision to grant funding.
For some co-funders such as other reserach funders like SLF, the Region Skåne Environmental Fund, the Swedish Board of Agriculture and Lantmännen's research foundation, a copy of the minutes documenting this decision is sufficient. The agreement is important as a basis for confirming commitments from the project parties where, for example, invoicing from institutions to partners can be included, and all amounts and times for invoicing must be clearly stated.
Main applicant is financially responsible for the project
The main applicant is financially responsible, that is responsible for making sure the project budget is not exceeded.
The main applicant should inform their financial officer of any projects approved for funding and submit a copy of the agreement. Using the agreement, the department can then set up a project account in the financial administration system for booking project costs.
