Can RG be used for generating new ideas and promoting joint research? Any ideas how to make collaboration more attractive should be of interest to most RG members.
@Sylvia, I am not so active in applying for grants /joint research/ since applications are associated with a large bureaucratic procedures, especially in international projects! Hope that may change later!

@Ljubomir, there are many researches who share your reasons. I am somewhat hopeful that at least some people who do not write proposals themselves would be interested to join new initiatives. They can contribute significantly with ideas, comments, etc. while applications are under preparation.
Dear Professor Sylvia Encheva,
Your idea is good but managing such proposals will not only be handled by the members it needs clearance from government and organizations too.
Afaq, I see your point. Different places have different rules for handling proposals before final submission. All of them have to be followed, no doubt. Thank you for pointing it out.
Dear Professor Sylvia Encheva,
Thanks for taking note of my point.
Yes, to bypass that hurdles, there are scopes if RG members collaborate in projects of UNESCO, WHO, ....
Yes, international projects can support realization of many good ideas.
Dear Professor Sylvia Encheva,
We RG members can extend our idea of projects for book, chapters and article writing.
Dear Professor Afaq Ahmad,
Very good suggestion. Let's hope there will be many RG members doing all kinds of collaborative work you proposed.
Dear Professor Sylvia Encheva,
A more fruitful idea with interactions of teaching faculty RG members belonging to same specializations for running expert sharing topics of tutorialsfor the benefits of young researchers and students.
@Sylvia , @Afaq, let us hope it will happen! Yes, interactions among RG members in certain fields! Good!
Yes, I do [or better, I should say "We do" — at X23 Ltd].
Currently, we're refining some research papers and building prototypes for "TillAge — Urban Crops", a vertical farm based on aquaponics and indoor agricultural engineering; and "GDC — Genetic Data Cube", a framework for assets mapping [pilot in Italy, Europe].
At the same time, some colleagues of mine are co-authoring a couple of grant submissions with same number European researchers, for EUCreative and EU - Horizon2020 — MG.7.1-2014. Connectivity and information sharing for intelligent mobility.
For the 1st two, I was wondering whether to experience some collaborations through RG, launching a Call [opening a Project up here].

Dear All,
For being active in RG one needs some time, a computer and some ideas. For writing (successful) grant applications or participating in grants sophisticated facilities and good contacts are the most important things. Winning ideas are often quite mediocre as well as many of the winners. In most cases the circle of winners is determined.
Unfortunately, as Ljubomir put it, bureaucratic conditions are crucial. Certainly, this fix the circle of institutions even their nationalities.
@Giuseppe, it is very good to hear that you and your colleagues are working on grant submissions to Horizon2020. I would say that using RG you will receive some positive responses related to both proposal writing and partner search.
Sylvia
@Sylvia Encheva Not yet. Being a early career researcher, aiming to apply for young scientist schemes. It will be more beneficial.
Let me be honest. I am tired to write research grant applications , preparing for retirement in following March. Younger researcher should do.
