    Other financial info

    Since 2022 and the new interinstitutonal agreement and the guidelines issued in that context, the reporting structure has changed. This led to adding additional employees and their salaries whose activities are now considered in-scope, as well as to counting the membership fees to organization we are members of (which we previously excluded to avoid double reporting).
