On 18 March, a new major issue arose, following the pandemic of Covid-19, everyone who can work from home is now working from home. After a period of transition where everyone move to home working, including external partners, work in our programme continue and projects are able the progress. Potential for other and additional issues continue to be monitored under Risk 2:Disruption from the current Novel coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.
During March, our yearly Clearing project started. However the Covid-19 outbreak will have a major impact on this project. The project scope is under review and will be adapted to follow the guidance from the government and the University Executive.
