BE participation in Projects • DUCAS (Cat B project): Planning of the field trial has required intensive work and the next PAMG meeting will take place in Nov Prof Chris Perneel, Michal Shimoni and Dirk Borghys

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
