• Aligning on the initial goals and expected benefits: opportunities to improve even further, business benefit management and preparations for NICEST-2 business case
• Project budget in detail
• discussing dependencies (IS-ENES, IPCC, ESGF, EOSC-Nordic, INES, national synergies,..) and project's timeline

Please note that a NeIC project with ties to EC-funded initiatives must show that NeIC funding adds Nordic value beyond what is planned with the EC funding.
