In case of a network, the information provided by the research team in this form should reflect the
contribution of all promoters of the project and must be approved by them. In case of divergence of opinion,
it is the responsibility of the coordinator to present an approved document in due time.
THE SELF-EVALUATION AND THE EX-POST EVALUATION
The self-evaluation exercise is intended for the ex-post evaluation of the research project by a
panel of international experts. The main focus of that evaluation is the scientific quality of the
research carried out by the research team.
The present form is organised into standard questions and will give the research team the
opportunity to evaluate its own work and motivate eventual departures from the original
objectives, methodology, planning of tasks, expected results and/or valorisation activities.
This document shouldl help the experts to understand the project and therefore will be included
in the information pack that they will receive. Other documents are:
-
-
the documents related to the project background: the call for proposals and its information
dossier; the project proposal and the final comments of the experts; the main points of the
research contract, including the technical specifications of the project as described in annex I
of the research contract;
the final report “Description of the Research Project”.
All projects will be evaluated against the following points:
1.
2.
3.
Execution of the stipulated tasks (Did the research meet its objectives?);
Methodology (Was the methodology applied according to scientific standards?);
Project contributions (Has the project contributed to new insights?)
Projects will be assessed using a scale from 1 to 10 (grading system: 1 very poor; 10 excellent).
