EUROATOM 2016-2017 Project Manager Point of View Jacek.Gajewski@ncbj.gov.pl National Centre for NuclearResearch, Poland Jacek Gajewski
General H2020 PM issues • Huge number of possibilities offered by H2020 • Efficient proposal and project<->EC communication systems • Complicated financial procedures, formulated in difficult language; no easy way of getting binding interpretation; lack of knowledge of auditing „algotithms”. • Low motivation to embark on H2020 projects due to strongly limited salary limits (+8000 EUR/year/FTE limit). Especially perceptible in low basic salary countries from CEE Jacek Gajewski
Specific EURATOM PM issues • Both research and networking are more difficult due to high security and safety requirements, which differ from country to country • Different „safety cultures” among different nations -> tensions among partners • Limited number of industrial partners, especially SMEs -> communities are small • Research vs. Business balance • Nuclear power is sensitive (often political and unstable) issue + low public awareness -> dissemination and sustainability are sometimes difficult Jacek Gajewski
