5. Observed differences
centralisation
internal evaluation
flexibility
approach to changes
Observed similarities
lack of information from scientists
timesheets / budgeting of projects
minor national languages
leading role in changes on national level
Lessons learned at UoI
personal contact/approach
emphasized international cooperation
support in identifying desirable outcomes/publishers, etc.
- staff supervision and feedback

7. intensity (insight)
tailored programme
clear rules
opportunity to learn and observe
contacts and connections
co-operation
most of our work actually
IS in national languages
100% job shadowing was
impossible to offer (space for
wider range of activities)
being more cautious about time distribution
´tight´ budgeting
identifying in detail ´points of interest´ beforehand
