Additional Information

During the revision of our registration, we identified and corrected an error in the financial data previously submitted. Our earlier budget declaration mistakenly included non-operational assets. The revised figure now accurately reflects the actual operational budget for the most recently closed financial year. Following this correction, we confirm that none of our contributors individually provided funding exceeding €10,000 and representing more than 10% of our total annual budget. As such, we have not declared any institutional or private contributors under the corresponding section.
