Evaluation of Applications for Research Projects

Following the call for proposals that will be launched by the RRPP Programme Management, you are invited to submit your applications for a specific date. The subsequent evaluation of the submitted research projects will take place in the following steps:

1. The RRPP Programme Management launches a call for project idea proposals;
2. The RRPP Scientific Board evaluates the applications while considering the RRPP Guidelines for Research Projects. The following criteria are taken into considerations for this purpose:

- scientific quality;
- relevance and link to the common umbrella topic defined for a given region;
- feasibility of the research project;
- regional dimension (cooperation and networking) of the project;
- scientific competence of the applicants related to the submitted project;
- implication of both younger and female researchers;
- contribution of the research partner to the development and realisation of the research project;

The applicant/s whose proposal has passed that stage is/are invited to submit a Full Proposal.

3. The RRPP Scientific Board examines the full proposal. Upon its recommendation, the RRPP Steering Board subsequently decides on the award of funding for RRPP Research Projects.

Upon completion of this process, the applicant/s will be informed about the outcome. The entire process lasts some 6 months.
