Questionaire cont’d • Do you have any information about the Commission's plan after 01/01/2010? Please ask your NCPs! • NCP are not well informed, no news (status April 2009) • Certain rumors around (40% - 55% - 60%) • Some universities are quite in favor, many are very sceptical Lucas Zinner,4th UNICA Meeting for EU Research Liaison Officers , 19tth – 20th November, 2009
Questionaire cont’d • Did your University make any efforts towards the certification on the Methodology? What were the results?

Questionaire cont’d • Are you familiar with an University which applied successfully for the certification? Do you know an University which failed? Sean McCarthy, Hyperion Ltd: Only 14 organisations are negotiating Certificates of the Methodology at the moment. No organisation seems to have completed one. A number thought they had completed the negotiations but the Commission came back and changed the rules. I get the feeling that the Commission is still in 'learning mode'.
