The comparison between planned and attained deliverables will be carried out and the report will highlight that the time scheduled for the project has been correctly applied, no relevant deviations have been reported, and a good level of collaboration between the members of the consortium has been attained. In this regard, the various work packages will be analyzed and the main results listed using EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) as common framework for the quality management.
