At its meeting on 6 March, FILI’s Advisory Board made its decisions on this year’s first round of grant applications. A copy of the “Agreement on the awarding and use of funding and on the monitoring and conditions of its use” will be posted to successful applicants, as required under the Finnish government funding act (Exception: The Nordic Council of Ministers’ translation grant, Finnish fiction and non-fiction into Nordic languages), as soon as possible – the contracts are currently being updated and might therefore be slightly delayed. This contract must be signed by the applicant and returned to FILI.
