DN: Is the awarding of doctoral degrees a mandatory deliverable for Doctoral Networks (Table 3.1c – Deliverables List on p. 37 of the DN Proposal Template)?

This is not a mandatory deliverable but an optional one; the award of doctoral degrees can happen also after the end of the action.

PF: The instructions explicitly say not to encode any other Work Packages. What should be done in case that some deliverables are blocking submission because, as the pop-up menu says, they MUST be associated to a Work package?

To get rid of the warning message blocking the submission, applicants should link the deliverables with WP1.
