S4CE end date is officially pushed back to the 31st of December 2020, instead of the 31st of August 202. All delayed deliverables have now their official new due dates.
A 4-month extension has been granted by the European Commission in order to complete the activities that were supposed to be completed over the summer. S4CE researchers’ activities (field testing, sampling analysis, technologies deployment) have been delayed due to travel restrictions and limited access to labs.
In total, 20 deliverables and 1 milestone have been postponed and will be progressively published towards December 2020.
