The principal investigator should send a request to the spokesman of the ELAN-Committee prior to the official project end, explaining the reasons for the requested extension.

When do I have to submit the final report?

Please submit your final report within 4 weeks of the project end. (The project end date is given in your letter of approval.)

Can a project duration be extended?

Generally not. However, in exceptional cases the principal investigator can send a request to the chairman of the ELAN programme committee, detailing the reasons for an extension.
