General information on the evaluation procedure

Proposals submitted to the ERC are evaluated in an internationally organised peer-review process conducted by independent experts. These experts have been selected by the Scientific Council on the basis of scientific qualification. In order to guarantee an efficient evaluation procedure, the Scientific Council of the ERC has decided to establish specific evaluation panels covering all fields of science. For each of the two ERC funding schemes there is a separate set of ERC evaluation panels.

Both sets involve 25 peer-review panels, which are attributed to one of the three research domains:

  • Social Sciences & Humanities: 6 Panels (Individuals, institutions and markets, Institutions, values, beliefs and behaviour, Environment and society, The Human Mind and its complexity, Cultures and cultural production, The study of the human past)
  • Physical Sciences & Engineering: 10 Panels (Mathematical foundations, Fundamental constituents of matter, Condensed matter physics, Physical and analytical chemical sciences, Materials and synthesis, Computer science and informatics, Systems and communication engineering, Products and processes engineering, Universe sciences, Earth system science)
  • Life Sciences: 9 Panels (Molecular and Structural Biology and Biochemistry, Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Physiology, Pathophysiology and Endocrinology, Neurosciences and neural disorders, Immunity and infection, Diagnostic tools, therapies and public health, Evolutionary, population and environmental biology, Applied life sciences and biotechnology)

Each panel is composed of a chairman and 10 to 15 panel members. Apart from these panel members, external experts will be involved in the evaluation process.
