[EU] Strategy on EU lobbying

[Dirk Frigne]

We (Geosparc) are involved in 3 H2020 projects currently. (And the
chance on success is indeed around 4%. But if you have a good consortium
and good idea's, that shouldn't be a problem.
And I think OSGeo-Europe will be an extra advantage to be involved.
Of course we should foresee the budget to paay the people involved.

What I meant is to look for a project where we can involve OSGeo-Europe
(after creation of the organisation of course), and write a workpackage
for the valorisation of the open results. This could be a good
opportunity to involve such expertise.

Of course we have to involve also SME's and probably some universities.
And the right topic to work on. I am sure opportunities will appear...
