Scale of marks and assessment criteria

We use a scale of marks when processing grant applications. Here you will find the assessment criteria and the scale of marks that the experts and the Research Council administration use in their work.

We assess grant applications according to these three criteria:

  • Excellence
    We assess the application on
    • originality/novelty of the research and innovation
    • solidity/robustness
  • Impact
    We assess the application on
    • its potential for impact on research, society and trade and industry
    • plans for disseminating knowledge and for implementing research results
  • Implementation
    We assess the application on
    • project manager and project team
    • plans for carrying out and organising the project
