5. INFSOM-RI-026753 Challenges The main challenge for this WP has been the amount of extra work that WP1 has to do to track late or missing timesheets and QR contributionsThe main challenge for this WP has been the amount of extra work that WP1 has to do to track late or missing timesheets and QR contributions However, the situation has improved in Year 2 with more timely submission of material from each WP and effort reporting from all partnersHowever, the situation has improved in Year 2 with more timely submission of material from each WP and effort reporting from all partners 5 ETICS 2nd EC Review - CERN - 15 February 2008
