Conclusions (provisional)
 Overall, the association of CC to FP5 is a success
 Research communities in the CC have actively taken the
opportunities, shares in participations in submitted proposals are
in general high compared to the economic strength of the
countries
 Functioning information and assistance networks (NCP) have
been established
 Success rates are lower than average for all CC
