Hehe, if Lukasz joins in, we'll have multiple countries ;-)

Also several EU countries have to participate in the EU projects. I think the idea is good, now I have to clarify the boundary conditions and build up the successful project setup (university, end user etc.). We currently have a German project funded by the BMBF and in September we will carry out our first EU-funded project with 5-6 EU states on the topic of offline debugging of neural networks and online validation of self-learning systems in production. We would also participate.

Hi Chris, I like the idea and in fact, as stated earlier on the list, there is a project funded by the german government (SFSC) together with Matthias Institute where we plan to do some PLC4X development and integration. The EU founded projects are usually larger but also harder to acquire, so it will be a LOT of paperwork, but could be worth it if we make a nice proposal and outline a really feasible solution (not only covering plc4x but also some "end-user-usable" thing, or so). And, we should gather several "assoziated" partners which explain their interest in what we want to do. And of course good university support. So perhaps the ISW (Matthias) and also the WZL Aachen (Björn has good contacts) and the IFQ Magdeburg (we have good contacts) could be good universitary partners for such a project. So pragmatic minds or pragmatic industries would be in, I guess.

They also promised to help us where they can. While this is usually just something people say to be nice … some further thinking lead me to the idea that we might approach them and ask for some options for EU funded research. I guess we all work for some company (or are self employed) … we could try to apply for some funds in as a collective. You think that’s a good idea? Chris
