Managers and administrative staff in the context of the intellectual outputs have responsibilities strictly related to the output concerned and not in general to the project implementation. 19th of November 2018, Physics Department of University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland

  49. Administration & Financial Management Intellectual Outputs (II) Total Budget: 97163 Euros (Attn we have requested: 116590 Euros) Please note that each person refunded under this category should keep Timesheets indicating the hours of work dedicated to the production of the Intellectual Outputs. The hours allocated in these timesheets should cover and depict the total days of work related to the staff cost each partner claims. The declared days of work and the relevant cost claimed cannot exceed the corresponding approved budget. These timesheets will be attached in any staff payments towards the Intellectual Outputs category and should be signed and stamped by the corresponding individual and the Authorized Financial Officer. (a monthly timesheet template will be send to all partners to be used in all relevant payments of staff costs.) 19th of November 2018, Physics Department of University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland

  50. Administration & Financial Management Intellectual Outputs (III) Total Budget: 97163 Euros (Attn we have requested: 116590 Euros) Regarding timesheets and reporting: Please notice that each day of work consists of 8 hours and only full days can be uploaded to the EU Mobility reporting tool. Thus, when you declare hours in the timesheets, make sure that the total hours declared per month give a number that is a multiply of “8” (in order to have full days declared as a result). If a partner wants to declare i.e. 10 days of work for an intellectual output, has to provide timesheets with 80 hours in total for this output. All partners should send or email the relevant information and documentation required to the Coordinator upon request and support responding to the above mentioned obligations 19th of November 2018, Physics Department of University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland
