Hi Stefano, all,
I seem to remember that you mentioned in Berlin that there would be
special fees for academic and non-profit (research) institutions. Paying
fees is always difficult as they can usually not be charged on projects
(unless explicitly relevant to it).
Can you please clarify as this would be relevant for many in the
research field.
Thanks,
Philipp
