<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This was mentioned in our meeting with the EU project officer. However, our universities are used to require time sheets for all EU projects.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Could you as project coordinator send us an (official-sounding) email confirming the statement of our PO that time sheets are not required for our students? That could be a big help for us to convince our administrations.
Thanks a lot in advance!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I would not be surprised if other doctoral candidates and their supervisors have the same issue as well. That’s why I am CCing all QSI beneficiaries. Any precedents of other QSI doctoral students not required to fill
in time sheets would already help us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
