Corrigendum №2
A. The deadline for submission of proposals modifies from 27 October 2017 to 30 November 2017. The rationale is the availability and full functionality of the IMIS Application Module (going live on the 16th of October 2017 via https://imis2014-2020.eu/imis-web/public#!foAppEniLogin) on the potential applicants’ side and the need for applicants to upload their applications within a one month period.
Please check first the User’s Manual for the Application Module IMIS 2014-2020 for the detailed guidelines on the online application process. In case of technical questions the applicants can submit their requests to the IMIS Office via the e-mail address imisoffice@szpi.hu.
Attention! Those applicants who started uploading their projects in IMIS before 16 October, 2017 will not be able to submit the applications; they have to delete the applications and start uploading their projects from the beginning.
B. In order to support the applicants’ efforts to finance the elaboration of documentation related to infrastructure components and to adapt to different national requirements for the elaboration of technical documentation for infrastructure components projects, a grant may be awarded retroactively to cover such costs. However, these costs can be considered eligible for financing if they have been incurred between the launching of the second call for proposals (17 May 2017) and prior to the date of the signing of the grant contract. The signing of the grant contract is dependent upon the availability of the documentation for the infrastructure components as well on the availability of the building permit (if applicable).

Corrigendum №3
The deadline for submission of proposals modifies from 30 November 2017, 12:00 CET to 30 November 2017, 23:59:59 CET. The rationale for modification was to provide the applicants with additional time for submission of their project proposals within the 2nd Call after a sumission error in the online application module of Integrated Monitoring and Information System (IMIS) 2014-2020 prevented the submission of applications.
