By default, this programme is co(!)-funding activities. In reality, this co-funding is mostly done via participant's fees, which produced (among others!) a strong bias towards participants who can afford this. The new program will be easier to process for many and even some will be better off with the new calculation method. 
What the program doesn't explicitly acknowledge is that if the priority focuses on participants with fewer opportunities, there are many obstacles and not being able to contribute financially is just one criterion of exclusion. So, at least it should become possible and good practise to finance the respective programs via exceptional costs for those now even more identified as exceptional and very rewarding target group. 
But also, the policy should be quickly adapted to all research already avaialble on exclusion of certain, needy public.
