Main messages
• Goal of the evaluation: ensure best proposals get funded
− All proposals compete against each other; for many topics few will be funded
− Use the full range of scores
− Use maximum score only when proposal is truly excellent for that criterion
• No negotiation: the proposal becomes the project
− Any shortcomings should be reflected in the scores
• Independence of expert: ensures all proposals treated equally
− You have been selected for your very particular expertise. You evaluate in a personal capacity, independent of your country, organisation, personal interest
− We count on you to report any possible Conflict of Interest
Thank you for your attention
and
Good luck with the remote evaluation!
