DEfI and ChinaLessons Learned

Clear ‘Theor-ational schema’

– Bottom-up chosen topics coupled with top down ‘theor-ational’ schema

R.Q.s-rather than project-based

VISA Type-based planning

Tight collaboration with respective administrations

Participant’s selection criteria (Profile & Proposal)

‘Seeding’ & ‘Water’ attitude

Use exchanges to develop , tighten & enlarge relationships

– Involvement of other colleagues & partners

– Joint ideas extension/development, funds scouting & applications

– Institutional agreements
