MEGAPOLI 212520
Partner 23: University of Cambridge (UCam) includes the audit cost (which is ~1000 Euro/year) as a
subcontract.
International Cooperation
MEGAPOLI will particularly benefit from the participation of non-European international collaborators who
are playing a key role in this field (letter of commitments are included in Appendix 3). These scientists are
part of existing collaborative projects with MEGAPOLI partners, stated in parenthesis below. The roles are
summarised below and provide significant added value for Europe (see Table 2.4 and Table 2.5).
