Die Erläuterungen zu den Fragen sind wesentlicher Bestandteil im Begutachtungsverfahren, daher bitten wir Sie diese nicht zu löschen. o Die „Checkliste Formalvoraussetzung“ kann gelöscht werden. o Bitte beachten Sie die Übereinstimmung zwischen den Angaben in den Formularen und dem eCall. Wenn Unterschiede auftreten, so sind die Formulare als verbindliches Dokument anzusehen. o Generelle Hinweise: Ein Core Document besteht aus der Projektbeschreibung (Project Description), dem Kostenplan (Cost Plan), dem Monitoringteil (Monitoring Tables) sowie dem Anhang (Annex). o Im Anhang (Annex) sind die Lebensläufe von jenen Schlüsselpersonen beizulegen, die neu hinzugekommen sind. Die von Ihnen im CV zur Verfügungen gestellten Informationen werden von den GutachterInnen sowie dem Bewertungsgremium mit den folgenden Zielsetzungen analysiert und zur Begutachtung herangezogen: o Erfassung unterschiedlicher Beiträge bzw. der gesamten Bandbreite der Beiträge einer Person zur Entwicklung der Wissenschaft o Erfassung und Berücksichtigung der Rahmenbedingungen, unter denen bislang wissenschaftlich gearbeitet wurde, und der Zeit, die der Person bislang für Forschung verfügbar war o Erfassung der für das „Laura Bassi Centre of Expertise“ relevanten außerfachlichen Kompetenzen Bitte prüfen Sie, ob alle relevanten Informationen aus Ihren Darstellungen hervorgehen. o Die Angabe der maximalen Seitenzahl ist NICHT als Aufforderung zu verstehen, diesen Richtwert auch erreichen zu müssen. o „Weniger ist mehr“ – bemühen Sie sich, Ihre Darlegungen entlang der Haupt- und Subkriterien prägnant und präzise auf den Punkt zu bringen. Stellen Sie das Wesentliche in den Vordergrund, (zu viele) Details könnten überfrachten und den Blick auf das Wesentliche verstellen. o Versetzen Sie sich aktiv in die Perspektive der Peers und des Bewertungsgremiums (Jury), die unterschiedliche Zugänge und Hintergründe mitbringen. Bemühen Sie sich, für alle das verständlich zu vermitteln, was für die Beurteilung wirklich relevant ist. o Bei einzelnen Kriterien wird sich bei der schriftlichen Darstellung eher eine übersichtliche Aufzählung von Punkten eignen als ein langer Fließtext. 3/20 Abwicklungsstelle Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH (FFG) o Zeigen Sie die Erfüllung der Kriterien und Ihre Kompetenz auf vielfache Weise – Ihre Führungskompetenz beispielsweise können Sie durch Ihr Theoriewissen darlegen, was etwa unter Führung zu verstehen ist, wie auch durch Ihre konkreten Hinweise, welche Prozesse, Methoden und Führungsinstrumente Sie praktisch einsetzen. o Es steht Ihnen frei, Ihre Selbsteinschätzung zu fundieren und zu ergänzen, indem Sie beispielsweise 360-Grad-Feedbacks zu Ihrer Person bzw. Ihren Leistungen als Zentrumsleiterin einholen und prägnante Aussagen dazu in Ihrem Bericht oder in Ihrer Präsentation zitieren. o Nützen Sie die Zwischenevaluierung als Chance für eine umfassende Bilanzierung und Reflexion Ihrer Stärken und Entwicklungsfelder als Zentrumsleiterin. o Sollten Sie Fragen haben, wenden Sie sich bitte an Ihre Ansprechperson in der FFG (siehe Kontaktinformationen in den Allgemeinen Informationen oder unter http://www.ffg.at/content/die-laura-bassi-zentren). Ende der Einreichfrist: Die Dokumente für die Zwischenevaluierung müssen spätestens am 1.
