Your proposal is pre-screened by only one independent external expert (NB. this expert is not/will not be involved in the EC evaluation of your proposal).

Please note that the proposal needs to be as close to a final version as possible and needs to be written in English. The proposal must be submitted no later than 21 calendar days before the call deadline.
