IAP03
Why bother participating a cat B project?
• International collaborations
• Possibility of organizing measurement campaigns
Why not bother participating a cat B project?
• Long and slow administrative procedure

General Comments
- Low activity rate within IAP03
- Not a lack of ideas, lack of enough supporting countries
to go through with the proposal
- General impression that economic crisis has decreased
the research budgets in optics/optronics domain
Niches
- Hard to identify
- National needs are not always international needs
