Great to see this being finally launched.
As i have been discussing the importance of such support for projects and regional activities for many years, i hope some of those inputs are integrated into the methodology for distributing the funds.
Starting from discussions since Summer 2017 and recent reflections on our regional event, UROS, in Maribor (which still continues through-out until next summer).
Talking abiout “deliverables”, i would ideally see a very open ended process being followed. Many good projects take a long time to get somewhere interesting, especially with hardware. And beyond that, regional events are very much about “people”, which is hard to asses, on what happens in such new collablrations and friendships formed for years later. Please don’t go into check-box ticking and number lotteries, as used in EU funded projects schemes.
I would be interested to be only part of the last round to review and reflect on how that process worked.
