Delay of grant agreement signature of urbanLIFEcircles project
The urbanLIFEcircles project (101074453 - LIFE21-NAT-EE-urbanLIFEcircles) has recently successfully passed revision stage and has been invited to sign the Grant Agreement for the project. As proven from our active participation in the revision process, the Tartu City Government has full intention in launching and implementing the much appreciated project. The urbanLIFEcircles project is fully in line with the strategic objectives of Tartu City and would give the much needed boost in systemic change for supporting urban biodiversity both by providing practical real-life demonstrations as well as improving capacity in the biodiversity focused governance.
However, as the invitation to prepare the grant agreement came later than initially expected (we were called out from the waiting list) we have not been able to carry out all the needed administrative procedures within the Tartu City Council, due to the Council's seasonal leave. The City Council, which has to approve the budgetary changes that took place during the revision, will be back in office in September and has its first hearing in 15th of September. While we expect that the Council will not vote against the project, then until the decision is secured, we can not sign the Grant Agreement in the Grant Management Services System.
The current deadline for signing Grant Agreement is set to 10th of September. We ask you to allow us to delay this deadline by 10 days, so we could carry out the necessary internal procedures.
