Successful completion of the two deliverables is to be achieved within two pre-defined deadlines of 45 days each (three months for both deliverables). Contingent upon completion of each deliverable, remuneration will be settled in the form of a lump-sum payment at the end of each deadline. Each deliverable will be remunerated with 1,000€, resulting in a total contract value of 2,000€. The award of this contract agreement is subject to the signing of a non-disclosure agreement about the contents of this research project.
