[Smolka, Mareike]

Dear Bernd, dear RADIATE consortium,

These are sad news, indeed. However, I find the reviews overall pretty positive and the weaknesses they address are very helpful to improve future applications.

I also would like to thank everyone, and Bernd especially, for the process of working on this proposal. I learned a lot and highly appreciated Bernd's smooth, efficient, and kind guidance.

I hope there will be another opportunity in the future to collaborate!

Warm wishes,
Mareike

Dear Bernd, what a pity. But, the number of 76 submissions is really impressive and therefore success quite a difficult thing. Thanks a lot for your guidance as coordinator through this process. Hope, there will be future opportunities ! All best, Stefan

Dear Bernd,

thank you for guiding us through this process.
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).

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.


All the best,

Dear RADIATE consortium
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.
There were 76 submissions for six possible project, so it was always going to be very competitive.
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.

Kind regards,
Bernd
