Your role as an expert evaluator
The European Commission selects candidates with the most suitable profiles for each evaluation. Selected experts are contracted for short-term assignments between one week and two weeks, in some cases up to 30 days. The working days are not always consecutive and can be spread out over 1-3 months.
Experts evaluate project proposals applying for EU funding. This is done by scoring proposals and exchanging views with fellow evaluators.
The work will be conducted remotely.
