grant law - paths through the maze

The funding grant notification has arrived! But what happens now? What actually does necessary, economical and sparingly mean, what is unsexy called regulation on sub-threshold procurement (in German even unsexier: Unterschwellenvergabeordnung) or an early commencement of the project? Which documents do I have to collect and how do I document/explain correctly? In the session, we will jointly examine the rules for the use of public funding and track down paths through the supposedly impenetrable bureaucratic maze.
