Follow-up in case of issuance of a licence
The decision to issue a licence shall also determine the procedure and deadline for the follow-up on the work of the research institute, which is to be carried out by the Follow-up Committee. The follow-up procedure includes the submission of an action plan for quality improvement of the research institute’s operation in accordance with the expert panel’s recommendations and annual reporting on the implementation of the said action plan.
