<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">To admit additional partners, we should start decreasing the core team budget, as 150K is already pretty low for all old industry (in QSNP1) and new partners (both industry and academic).</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">The other option is not to add anyone anymore and ask all of the partners 150K assignment to confirm that they have to be prepared to add matching funds and tell use which tasks they will contribute to and how. To this
