Dear Julia,

I couldn’t agree more that it is burdensome to find people who would be willing to provide input on voluntary basis. It’s a shame that Dr. Balogh won’t be able to join the EAB. He probably would have had some interesting insights to share from his experience while running ICT startup incubator.

I think we can agree to have five members and in case any of us encounter new candidates, we can approach them and discuss such addition to the EAB internally. I think it may be useful to have 2-3 more people who could comment on the guidance document and the handbook.

Best regards, Lina

Dear Lina, Thank you for your reply. For your information: Mr. Frigyes Janza is managing a successfull consulting company dealing with EU and other grants and applications (mainly in the governmental sector). Dr. Zemplényi used to work in the ombudsman office for many years and now she is deputy director of the legal affairs of the Hungarian Commercial Chamber. Dr. Zsolt Balogh will not contribute in StarII Project. I have to add that it is not easy to find a suitable person to offer his time and expertise without any financial compensation so we will be happy if the Advisory Board can be set up finally in the given form. Kind regards, Julia

Dear Gabor,

Thanks for preparing an overview of the list of candidates for the external advisory board and an invitation letter to them. I made a few minor changes in the letter. I think it’s quite unlikely that the unpaid members of the EAB will be able to provide comments on every deliverable, so I suggest specifying that their input would be required only on several occasions.

As for the for the composition of the external advisory board, I believe we should consider expertise area of the candidates and their potential contribution to the project. For example, Jasmina is an expert on risk evaluation for small companies and GDPR; Luc has reflected on several occasions on the GDPR’s impact for SMEs. Both Luc and Sebastianio are willing provide a ‘dissemination channel’ by making the handbook available via their websites. While, I consider work experience of the three proposed candidates from Hungary to be of great relevance for our project, it would be useful to know what kind of contribution would they be willing to make to our project. At the same time, having more people on the EAB may be a good idea.

Best regards, Lina
