I haven’t thought a ton about the implications of this, but my initial reaction also is to generally be open to this.
So if you’re reading this and are wondering if it could be worth it to submit an application for funding for past expenses, then I think the answer is we’d at least consider it and so potentially yes.
If you’re reading this and it really matters to you what the EAIF’s policy on this is going forward (e.g., if it’s decision-relevant for some project you might start soon), you might want to check with me before going ahead. I’m not sure I’ll be able to say anything more definitive, but it’s at least possible. And to be clear, so far all that we have are the personal views of two EAIF managers not a considered opinion or policy of all fund managers or the fund as a whole or anything like that.
