I am very sceptic wrt. to this one. Usual STREPs have 6-8 partners, we had already 10 plus associates.
We heavily hit the implicit barrier that a STREP should not cost more than 4 mio €.

The only way to go beyond this limit is to go for an IP.
True, the EU favors IPs in various ways, and tends to spend
more and more money into this category because it simplifies
administration to them (by pushing it to the consortium).
On our side, I consider it TOO heavy - For the moment, I do not see how
I can coordinate an IP  from UP-Sud.

Still a STREP was, let's say, an experience.
(Although finally a good one).
