Lessons Learned

� We engaged a high quality community:

1st Open Call: only 10 out of 60 scored below the quality threshold (mark 6)2nd Open Call: only 7 out of 53 scored below the quality threshold (mark 6)

As a result, many of the “not-accepted” applications are still valuable and very likely to succeed if slightly improved and submitted in the coming calls.

� High expectations on impact of funded proposals: StandICT.eu managed to receive projects from people who’s truly experienced in the Standardisation field and with proven track record.

� Good coverage of StandICT.eu priorities (also beyond the Rolling Plan to cover emerging technologies)

� We need to specifically target Central and Eastern European countries and, in general, lessrepresented MSs

� Easy-to-use Online Platform for Researchers, SMEs, Organisations: blueprint for similar initiatives with cascading grants.
