Hi
the idea of this meeting is not to ask for money, but to diplomatically suggest, "hey y'know if there was this EU Call which had this this and this in it theeeenn, like, y'knooow, there's these people called NGI? y'know? they might like, y'know, put in a Grant Request?"
it all has to be done at 3rd hand, so that it is all independent and impartial and you get the general gist.
So... we gotta tip toe around the fact that their supply chain is fucked and that they should give us the cash to fix it? xD
