<p>Buongiorno Marco<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>la sua email indirizzata all'intera lista è stata bloccata perché
non di interesse per la lista stessa.</p>
<p>Per quanto riguarda le sue domande, consideri che la gestione
della proposta è nelle mani del coordinatore tedesco, per il quale
stiamo facendo da tramite.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Ho cercato di trasmettere sempre puntualmente tutte le loro
istruzioni, ma convengo con lei che sono state spesso tardive. Le
suggerisco di provare a contattare direttamente i coordinatori per
farsi riaprire i termini. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
Cordiali saluti,<br>
<br>
Antonio Bicchi<br>

Nella realtà nel momento in cui ci siamo resi conto della
dimensione della cosa abbiamo contattato il direttore di
istituto Lorenzo Molinari Tosatti con il quale avevamo deciso di
fare un'unica iscrizione di istituto indicando il suo nome come
referente del gruppo di ricercatori del nostro istituto
interessati.</div>

A tal fine ho raccolto io i nominativi che ho inserito nel file
exel online ma non ho fatto in tempo a iscrivere l'istituto a
nome di Lorenzo perché questa mattina il il portale per
l'iscrizione era già chiuso. Ho poi visto che Antonio Bicchi (in
cc) ha mandato una mail ieri sera dicedo che le iscrizioni
chiudevano questa mattina alle ore 9:00 che non avevo visto in
precendeti comunicazioni.<br>

Volevo quindi capire come dobbiamo comportarci. Possiamo
iscrivere ancora il nostro istituto (STIIMA) con il gruppo
completo o dobbiamo invece appoggiarci all'iscrizione di
Antonio Petitti di STIIMA ed eventualemnte aggiungere i
partecipanti nella descizione dell'istituto? <br>

groups with large dimensions (of the order of 5 independent PIs) should be members of the (large) consortium. They will not have direct funding, but will be able to participate in calls for projects within the consortium. The internal projects will be roughly
