DN: There is a commitment in the template of the pre-agreement letter for Joint Doctorates to establish the joint/ double/ multiple doctoral degree by month 6 from the start date of the project. Is this mandatory to provide, and if yes, should it be considered as a deliverable?

If the proposal is funded and enters into the Grant Agreement Preparation phase, the Project Officer in charge will ask the consortium to add some compulsory milestones and deliverables, including this commitment. Some flexibility is allowed, the Coordinator should inform of and agree the new deadline with the Project Officer.
