PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS / RECOMMENDATIONS

41

CONCLUSIONS Top PHD students involvement (100 %) Mainly senior Principal Investigators (93 %) Good further scientific collaborations (84 %) Difficulties for obtaining financial support for further scientific

collaborations (36 %) Good level of scientific outputs including at least 1 PHD students or

post-doc (65%) Pretty good average rate of young researchers copublications(57%) RECOMMENDATIONS Promote young researchers applications Promote women applications (only 21% of applicants are women) Improve sucess rate (22% in 2016)


CONCLUSIONS

42

French national authorities (MESRI / MEAE) will provide a complete analysis of the survey (incl. on the scientific impact) and provide this to recipients of the funding and participants in this symposium. Preliminary conclusions suggest that the funding scheme is efficiently contributing to creating (maintaining) fruitful and long term cooperation, despite the relatively low financial support, which is to be considered as “seed money”.

Thank you for your attention
