• What have others gained from being an evaluator? 

Evaluators witness first-hand how EU applications are assessed and can use the experience as an evaluator to help in their own applications. Professor Claudio Orlandi from Aarhus University share experiences from his participation in the evaluation of projects under Horizon Europe. 

• What do I do if I want to be an evaluator - what is the process? 

The evaluators' qualifications must match the research and innovation topics to be evaluated. Evaluators are selected from the EU Commission's database. Hear about the selection of evaluators as well as registration and remuneration.
