Eleven out of 32 collaborative projects have been selected for funding within SysMO. Working groups from the six partner countries Austria (2), Germany (29), Norway (7), Spain (9), The Netherlands (15) and the United Kingdom (22) as well as from the Czech Republic (1), France (2) and Switzerland (4) contribute their experience and knowledge and will ensure the success of the SysMO initiative. The projects are covering different fields of interests and will be supported by the partner institutions with appr. 28 M €.
