Lessons learned - General• Good relation to your Project Officer (PO)

• Dialogue, advise, problems, approval• Administrative:

• Changing Researcher Declarations (leave of absence, resignation)

• Fellows will ask you questions you could never anticipate → PO• Reporting system is tricky → PO

• Changes/Amendments

• National Contact Point (NCP)• For all the questions you can not ask your PO (and other stuff)
