Experts will be asked to evaluate all proposals following the evaluation criteria and sub criteria mentioned below.
Table 1. Evaluation criteria, weights and thresholds
Excellence | Impact | Quality and efficiency of the implementation |
|---|---|---|
Quality and pertinence of the project’s research and innovation objectives and the extent to which they are ambitious and go beyond the state of the art and their relationship with the Green Deal/sub-topics. | Credibility of the measures to enhance the career perspectives and employability of the researcher and contribution to his/her skills development. | Quality and effectiveness of the work plan, assessment of risks and appropriateness of the effort assigned to WPs. |
Soundness of the proposed methodology (including interdisciplinary approaches, consideration of the gender dimension and other diversity aspects if relevant for the research project, and the quality of open science practices). | Suitability and quality of the measures to maximise expected outcomes and impacts, as set out in the dissemination and exploitation plan, including communication activities. | Quality and capacity of the host institutions and participating organisations, including hosting arrangements. |
Quality of the supervision, training and of the two-way transfer of knowledge between the researcher and the host, or two-way transfer of knowledge between the researcher, the main host and secondment host. | The magnitude and importance of the project’s contribution to the expected scientific, societal and economic impacts. | Others: mobility, supervision and mentoring, public awareness, suitability of the profile to the programme, non-academic experience. |
Quality and appropriateness of the researcher’s professional experience, competences and skills. | ||
Priority in case of ex aequo. | ||
Proposals with the same score (Ex-aequo Proposals): In the event of proposals receiving the same overall score, the following priority order will be applied:
- Proposals will be prioritized based on their score for the ‘Excellence’ criterion. If these scores are also equal, priority will be determined by the ‘Impact’ criterion.
- If a tie persists, gender balance among successful applicants will be considered as a tiebreaker.
- If further distinction is still required, TÜBİTAK will evaluate the Green Deal Focus of the proposals, and preference will be given to those with a stronger alignment with Green Deal priorities.
