Questions to assess “Impact”
 Expected results – what will come out of your project?
 European or global dimension?
 Who needs the results and why?
 How will the results affect economy, technology level,
society, environment etc?
 How do you plan to exploit/disseminate the results?
Who evaluates?
 Peer review
 Evaluators contracted before the call deadline
 3 or 5 evaluators assigned to each proposal by EC staff
 Assignments dependent of the proposal nature based on EC judgement
 Proposals are often multidisciplinary while the evaluators aren’t – educate
the evaluator
 EC staff doesn’t put the scores on the proposals

Things to keep in mind..
 Space calls are relatively competitive (~30% success
rate)
 Score is the sole factor for initial ranking list
 Proposals are evaluated as written
 The process and criteria are publicly available: why not
perform your own test evaluation!
 Potential proposers are usually welcome to meet with EC
staff /PO officers to discuss their proposal!
