20 Highlights The individual participation of UA researchers is noticeable; an increase can be expected at the end of the FP7 compared to the figures of FP6. In particular the IRSES scheme has been well appreciated; there have been 4 times more participating UA organizations in the second IRSES call resulting in more than double funded proposals compared to the first call. The possibility to apply as partners within the Host driven actions, ITN and IAPP, should be raised. There are no longer upper limits on the % of third country researchers that can be recruited. UA researchers can apply to the COFUND published calls
