Evaluation Process of EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR Project Proposals

EXPRO a JUNIOR STAR

The goal of GACR is to support scientific excellence across all fields of study. The evaluation process for Project Proposals is carried out according to criteria laid down in the relevant tender documentation on the basis of the “peer review” system and mutual comparison. The end goal is the maximization of professionalism, transparency and independence of evaluation. The latter is further supported during the evaluation of EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR calls by only selecting foreign experts to be members of Discipline Committees. All project reviewers are bound by a strict  Code of Conduct.
