16. Lessens Learned (1) Comments of my colleagues Markus:  Timely and structure approach to complete the proposal  Amicably relations within a strong consortium  Support and knowledge of colleagues within AIT and their enthusiasm  Support of the AIT management to allow for a maximum of flexibility in working on creative scientific contributions Florian:  Idea of ECOSSIAN is right on time to support these initiatives.  The consortium consists of an optimal mix of academics/research, industrial partners and national bodies.  All work package leaders have plenty of experience in EU projects, know how to approach goals, and are professional and reliable partners. This helped a lot in the proposal preparation phase. 16 23.01.2014

17. Lessens Learned (2) Comments of my colleagues Paul:  A strong consortium, which was appreciated by the reviewers.  The users group, that we prepared was a strong point that helped  Internally, we were well prepared from a content perspective  The proposers day turned out to be surprisingly useful, i.e., via discussions with the PO, to read between the lines of the proposal text, …  As an institution, I think we were well-placed to coordinate the proposal from a content perspective, i.e., with the three departments taking part  I think we built on previous successes, e.g., with SECCRIT in last Security call 17 23.01.2014
