INTRODUCTION

The main aim of the Revised Budget and Activity Plan is to plan the expenses and activities for the academic year 1999/2000 more precisely. The objective of the project and consequently the main activities should, however, remain the same as planned in the Original Application form.

The Revised Budget and Activity Plan will be assessed and when approved will have contractual value and be the basis for further monitoring of your project by the Commission.

The maximum amount of the grant is stated in the Special Provisions of the Contract. Please note that the activities and the distribution of the budget can only be modified within the total grant for the given year. Further changes to the breakdown of the budget (beyond the limits given in the Contract) and the proposed activities cannot be introduced without prior written approval from the Commission.

Projects entering their second year should indicate the amounts transferred from the academic year 1998/99, as explained in Annex II/6.

Instructions

ź This document should be typewritten on the forms provided.

ź Please do not forget to fill in your Contract number at the top of each page.

ź The Revised Budget and Activity Plan should be completed by the Contractor.

ź Please send two copies.

ź The Annual Report 1998/99 and this Revised Budget and Activity Plan MUST be sent together in the same envelope.

ź Faxed forms will not be accepted.

ź Failure to return the Revised Budget and Activity Plan by 15 February 2000 will result in an automatic request for reimbursement of the first instalment of the grant for the given year.

ź You MUST send your Revised Budget and Activity Plan by registered mail. Only receipts from post offices and official carriers will be accepted as proof of dispatch.

Part II

Work plan 1999/2000

Please give an overview of the outputs foreseen for 1999/2000 in the table on the next page (Annex II/4) indicating the deadlines for each output (“milestones”), and the period and location in which the activities are taking place.

The purpose of this table is to assist both the Contractors and the Commission by focusing on the concrete outputs to be achieved as a measure of the progress of a project. It is important to note that you should provide a complete picture of all of the activities necessary for the achievement of each output during 1999/2000.

Please indicate below any deviations from the original application with regard to the results expected to be achieved in 1999/2000. Please also indicate any problems and opportunities which have arisen and which alternatives or corrective actions you propose to take.

It was indicated in the Annual Report as well that some problems were caused by the late beginning of the project (signature of the contract in January 1999 instead of November 1998 according to the application) and especially by the late arrival of financial support (April 1999). The management tried to shift the planned activities, but because of the fixed dates of the academic year this shift in some cases was not possible, i.e. it took more than 2 months. It must be underlined that all activities planned for the 1^st year have been fully carried out by the date of preparation of this report.

Because of the favorable internal and external conditions there is a real chance for quicker extension of our experience in alternating (sandwich type) education to other universities, enterprises, countries. That is the reason of our request in a small repartition of the budget, precisely in the increase of amount for W-E, E-W, W-W mobility. This modification in the first 2 cases is less than 10% of the corresponding budget lines. In the 3^rd case (W-W) concerns less than 3% of the total TEMPUS support.
