The Climate-KIC team involved in Blue-Action, originally listed as a group of the DTU (PP9), has founded a company in October 2016, the Climate-KIC ApS (CKIC). This company is independent from the DTU and will thus implement part of the action as a new partner (PP42). The Climate-KIC ApS registration number at the local registry for companies is CVR number is 38151088. The company was officially registered on 10 October 2016. More information is contained in the abstract of the registry here attached.

For the time being, the offices of the Climate-KIC ApS will be hosted at the DTU Campus, the address is c/o Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, Anker Engelunds Vej 101 A, 2800 Kgs. Lyngby. On 16 December, Climate-KIC ApS has obtained a PIC 91589689. As in the originally submitted proposal, CKIC will take over the co-lead of WP8. This means that some of the deliverables under DTU have been now moved to CKIC (see the changes listed in Part B). The budget has been also split accordingly, between CKIC and DTU. Staff of the Climate-KIC Aps involved in the Blue-Action project are: Peter Vangsbo (WP8 co-lead) and Niels Buchholst (financial officer).
