27 Added value for policy Publication of data Calculation of public spending on R&D Discussion at several fora: e.g. Flemish Science Policy Council Action plan developed by VCP (Flemish Contactpoint FP) But more recent data needed for agile policy making 27

28 Future work focus on proposal data More recent data Success rates closer communication with stakeholders Request to e-corda: downloadable database remains useful higher frequency of updates include names of researchers include address where research is performed (not headquarters) 28
