And concerning that preparation process, what do you think was the most challenging aspect of your application for the ERC grant, and is there something that you wish you knew from the start going into the application process, wish you know now?

now?Right.

So to me, I guess the biggest challenge was not having seen any successful ERC grant proposals before submitting my own.

And I think this is something that maybe people in other countries don't appreciate, that the, that they do have that knowledge base, that they do have somebody who has, has shared their successful proposal with them.

Like for example, I know universities in Italy, for example, the Netherlands or Finland, they have that, like, base...

Like, knowledge base.

They share these successful proposals between themselves, and it just gives you, like, a much better idea of what should go in the proposal.

And what was actually your motivation to apply with this idea of, on immigration and immigrant reception in Central and Eastern Europe?
