Over 500 papers were produced by GA²LEN members. Amongst them, approximately 80 papers were published as GA²LEN position papers, practical guides, or “GA²LEN task force papers” with GA²LEN in the title. This impressive number is an indicator of how well the EU’s investment was rewarded: more than one paper per €70.000 is absolutely exceptional among EU projects.
