Comments on participation Success rates not (too) diverse But significant potential to improve Participation depends (also) on number of submissions; which depend on Number of researchers (depends on GERD) Incentives Information Network effects Concentrate efforts in line with national interest/ strategy In depth assessment by country at bilateral meetings (e.g. Joint Committee) 28
