Some thoughts about what works, and what doesn’t work • Develop authentic research relationships, engage with EC policy development, languages, think European. • Cultural differences, differing practical and professional circumstances, misunderstandings. • Don’t forget the new member states from Eastern Europe. • Find the right call. • +/- of cross-disciplinary, policy-focused, research areas. • If you are unsuccessful, and you’re confident about the project, try again, try re-positioning. • Support from the European team at RACD.
