• Funded projects seem to circulate around a small group of “usual suspects”
• It is very unlikely to find a project in the list, without one of those in the consortium
General Remarks
• Strategic aiming to fewer and bigger projects
• To reduce administrative burden?
• EC is making ICT Calls a closed circuit for few huge
institutes/companies and does not allow "all flowers to blossom“
• Specially ones from remote or not so polished gardens!
Funding Issues
• Problem with 28% funding in H2020
• SMEs and startups cannot finance projects
• To Serbian ministry
• A guarantee fund that will allow SMEs to get loans from
banks if they are accepted in a H2020 project
(Just like Turkey does)
