Summary of observer report:
The evaluation of the HORIZON-WIDERA-2024-ERA-01 Call covered nine Topics and 93 submitted proposals. A total of 39 experts (evaluators), 12 dedicated rapporteurs and one independent observer were involved in the process, which was coordinated and managed by a very professional team of EC staff members (from REA).
The evaluation process was a complex task that extended throughout several weeks and required a strong coordination between all participants. This complexity led, however, to high quality results, i.e., funding decisions taken against clearly established criteria after comprehensive and well-organised discussions.
During the individual remote and central phases, experts behaved professionally, and discussions were fair and balanced. In general, experts did not allow consensus to be reached without due process and robust exchange of views. All proposals were assessed and treated in a similar way.
No specific issues were raised as regards to impartiality of the participants, and confidentiality aspects were clearly managed.
The transparency of the procedures was evident throughout the process, and the throughput time was sufficient to adequately undertake the evaluation process.
The evaluation process fulfilled the high quality standards of the Horizon Europe evaluation procedures.
