Mandate of the Review Panel
At the outline proposals stage, the Review Panel:
• Selects outline proposals to be invited to submit full proposals, according to the criteria published in the Call for Proposals (sifting)
• May give recommendations concerning further development of the proposals (e.g. joining forces with other teams)
• Provides written comments to explain its decisions to the proponents
At the full proposal stage, the Review Panel:
• May give advice on the selection of referees for the assessment of full proposals (principally from a pool of referees provided by the EUROCORES Funding Agencies and the ESF) and may suggest additional referees, if necessary
• Ranks and recommends proposals on the basis of assessments by external referees and , if relevant, proponents’ responses
• Provides written comments to explain its decisions to the EUROCORES Funding Agencies and to the proponents
During the running EUROCORES programme, the Review Panel:
• Is part of the evaluation process of the overall EUROCORES programme on the basis of achievements of CRPs through Interim and Final Evaluations (additional independent external evaluation may be sought)
• Advises the Management Committee on request, e.g. concerning the development of a second Call
Members of the Review Panel
Members of the Review Panel are:
• International experts recommended by EUROCORES Funding Agencies and appointed by ESF
The Chair is appointed by the ESF from amongst the RP members. An ESF representative attends meeting (normally EUROCORES Programme Coordinator) who is not a member. The relevant ESF Head of Unit and/or EUROCORES Scheme Coordinator may also attend. The MC members may attend as observers. The membership in the Review Panel is personal and public. The ESF provides the secretary to the Review Panel.
