  • Special conditions can be offered to large projects. Applications for special conditions must be submitted to the Review Board as part of the application. Lab managment decides on the provision of special conditions.
  • Projects with a volume exceeding CHF 10'000 require a written agreement. Projects exeeding CHF 20'000 require dedicated ETH financial accounts.
