guy working on several EU research projects here.
That's barely true. Although there is some certain amount of buzzwords in every proposal (that's kind of bread an butter for tech people anyway), they are far from what OP says.
Sometimes there is some overpromising, but those things are usually secondary aspects, rather than the core idea.
Most of the results are beeing used as some developed components by participating companies, some of the work is dropped, and a lot of work is open sourced and few projects are really successful. But that's research anyway. Not all work lead to success here.
- opminion 14y agoPerhaps it depends on the type of project? I see two very different views here: one thing is to have technical jargon that looks like buzzwords to the uninitiated, another is to have to include, in the proposal, features that you won't implement so that the project is accepted, as mentioned in the original post.
- apendleton 14y agoI don't think that's it, so much as offering to implement, and actually implementing (at least in a half-assed way) features that you don't actually want, to make the proposal more attractive.
