<p>Dear Bernd,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>thank you for guiding us through this process.</p>
<p>It's unfortunate, that it didn't work this time but, as well all know, there are already new calls on the Horizon (pun intended).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Let's look forward to the next calls and I'm sure that we can make use of some aspects from this call for the next one.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>All the best,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear RADIATE consortium<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, our proposal has not been successful. The aspect of the evaluation we failed was Quality and Efficiency of the Implementation. If you look at the text, it is actually not too bad, but they marked us under the threshold.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There were 76 submissions for six possible project, so it was always going to be very competitive.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At this point I can only thank you once more for your contribution to the proposal and let’s hope for more luck some other time.<o:p></o:p></p>
