As Fundings, we are aware that reliability is currently the top priority. That is why we are responding to the current conditions and needs, extending our April submissions and focussing on the area of development.

All changes at a glance:

Die April-Einreichungen für die Gremien Director's Cut und Kurz + Innovativ verschieben sich auf Mittwoch, 29. April.
