1.2 Activities supporting programme operations funded and implemented by the
PRIMA-IS
1.2.1 Evaluation of projects proposals submitted to 2018 Calls
Objective: This activity consists of implementing the evaluation of all the eligible projects submitted
to the 2018 PRIMA calls (Section 1 - Section 2) and preparing the decision of the Board of Trustees and
of the national funding bodies for selection of projects to be funded. The evaluation process is
described in detail section 5.1.6 and 5.2.6
PRIMA-IS will appoint external independent experts to evaluate the proposals and to be part of the
evaluation panels.
For both section (1 and 2) PRIMA IS will assign to the independent experts the evaluation of both first-
stage proposals and full proposals (stage 2). PRIMA IS will provide guidelines to the experts for the
remote evaluation and for drafting their individual assessment report. At the end of this period of
remote individual assessment, the experts will meet in a panel to draft the consensus report for each
project. When a consensus is reached for each project, the panel will agree on the final assessment
and will proceed with the ranking of the projects.
After the remote evaluation of the first-stage proposals and full proposals, a two-day and three-day
meeting respectively will be organised to draft the consensus report and establish the ranking list.
For section 1, there will be one evaluation panel per call, so three panels in total and for section 2,
there will be a single panel covering the entire range of topics.
PRIMA-IS will cover the independent expert fees, travels and accommodation and the other meetings-
related expenses in accordance with international standards as well as the meeting of the board of
trustees (section 1) and the funding bodies (section 2). The one-day meetings of the board of trustees
and national funding bodies will be held at the end of each step (2 meetings for section 1 and 2
meetings for section 2)
Type of Action: Expert Contracts, Direct costs for meetings
Indicative budget: € 500,000
