  "heading": "Annex A – Procedures for Proposal Submission on paper",
  "text": "In exceptional cases, if an applicant has absolutely no means of accessing the electronic proposal submission system and if it is impossible to arrange to do so, s/he may request permission from the ERCEA to submit on paper. Such a request, which must clearly explain the circumstances of the case, must be received by the ERCEA no later than 1 month before the call deadline.\nRequest for permissions to submit on paper shall be sent to the following address:\nEuropean Research Council Executive Agency\nHead of ‘Scientific Management Department’\nCOV2\nB-1049 Brussels\nBelgium\nThe ERCEA will reply to such a request within five working days of receipt. If derogation is granted, the ERCEA will send proposal forms for paper submission to the applicant concerned.\nIf the characteristics of a certain call mean that web-based submissions would be generally inappropriate, the ERCEA may decide at the outset to accept paper submissions. In such cases the possibility will be stated in the call for proposals, and proposal forms for paper submission will be made generally available.\nWhen paper submission is allowed, either by special or general derogation as described above, delivery of packages containing proposals on paper may be carried out using normal post, private courier service or by hand. Versions of proposals submitted on a removable electronic storage medium (e.g. CD-ROM or any similar electronic device), by e-mail or by fax will be excluded. Proposals submitted on paper must be submitted in a single package. If applicants wish to submit changes to a proposal or additional information, they must clearly indicate which parts of the proposal have changed and the changes/extra parts must be submitted and received before the call closure. Additional or amended proposal contents received after the call closure will not be treated or evaluated.\nIn case of proposal sent by post or by courier the evidence of the date of dispatch shall be constituted by the postmark or the date of the deposit slip. Packages containing proposals may be opened, on arrival, by the ERCEA for the purposes of registering the administrative details in databases and to permit the return of an acknowledgement of receipt.",
