KEPLER Amendment
KEPLER has received confirmation that the project amendment has been approved by the European Commission. This will will permit further work on deliverables and events disrupted by COVID-19. We are now scheduled to complete the project in June 2021, extending our total project time to 30 months.
Included in the KEPLER project amendment is the addition of an extra milestone:
M27 (M5.4) Key draft outputs for D5.2 Roadmap for end-to-end operational system for monitoring and forecasting the Arctic – Presentation slides for stakeholder use- outlining key draft outputs for deliverable D5.2
We have also identified the need for an extra deliverable to WP3:
D3.5: Executive summary of identification of research and capacity gaps- drawing together data from all WP3 deliverables into one report.
Over 80% of the KEPLER project milestones and deliverables have now been delivered! (pending approval.)
