8. We have worked in very good consortia
Experiences
Large amount of work for writing applications and project administration
Not easy as co-ordinator
Not too bad as partner
Greater competition in Horizon 2020
Lower success rate in the calls of interest for us
We have worked in very good consortia
Have worked with most before (IEA, EU,…)
Good common understanding
Different competences

9. Experiences (2)
Possibility to improve or create new courses
Guest lecturers
Hosts for thesis projects
Employers of our students
Can involve several disciplines
Relatively few involved
Risk for low impact in group
Most interaction with international master programs
