3. Neurotechnology technical study programme budget
   The Executive Board has approved the Faculty of Science budget for setting up the new Neurotechnology technical study programme. 
   The Board will make an amount available that does not exceed 6.375 million EUR, with the following spending guidelines for the Faculty of Science:
   a. the funding reserved for the new Master's programme will remain available for 
       the defined period (until 2031);
   b. a review will take place once every two years to determine whether the budget set before the start of the study programme is still up to date or whether updating it is preferable. This potential budget adjustment may lead to the Executive Board contributing less, for example 
       if the estimated income from education is higher than budgeted;
   c. the PhD capacity included in the budget is related to teaching, and the 
       associated costs can be claimed;
   d. costs for accommodation related to the actual available floorspace at the faculty 
       cannot be claimed;
   e. costs involved in indirect support and management staff cannot 
       be claimed;
   f. a re-evaluation should take place once every two years, which should include the 
       budget review.
