Søknadslunsjer ved HSL: Evaluations in the European Commission: How the Process Really Works

In this talk professor Kate Maxwell will run through the basic structures of EC evaluations, the various roles involved, how the evaluation progresses, and how evaluators are expected to structure their reports. There will be a specific focus on how applications are allocated to evaluators, and what applicants can do to help (and hinder) the choice of evaluators. 

Come with your experience, your curiosity, your tales of woe and of delight, and together we can see if we can lift some of the veil of mystery that surrounds an increasingly important part of our academic life.
