News archive - FP6: WBC most successful in Coordination and Support Action
Full data from FP6 is now available and allows analysis on the participation of Western Balkan countries in the programme. One open secret is that the Balkan countries were not really successful in the "real" science projects - but rather in Specific Support Actions (167 successful participations) and Coordination Actions (51 participations). But on the other hand, there were also 113 contracts for Specific Targeted Research Projects (STREPs), 37 contracts for Integrated Projects and also 14 contracts for Networks of Excellence (NoE).
The NoEs were mostly concluded with organisations from Croatia (9) and also in most other project types Croatia was more successful than the other WBCs. Serbia and Montenegro (counted as state-union for the full duration of FP6 statistics) have contracted 50 SSAs (compared to 44 of Croatia and 167 for all WBC).
