The application was initiated sometime in summer 2021. What I want to point out, as it relates to that application, is that the ecosystem fund is not a publicly available fund. As part of their contribution agreement, you have to provide everyone the equal opportunity to apply to funding agreements, and to apply to any of these funds. For the ecosystem fund, that never existed, so it was brought to us by the executives, who said, “We are now looking at the Verschuren Centre.”
