Evaluation procedure:
- Applications for ERG and IRG schemes will be treated in separate panels, and ranked list created for each panel.
- The evaluation criteria (including weights and thresholds) and sub-criteria together with the eligibility, selection and award criteria, for the different funding schemes are set out in Annex 2 to this work programme
- The evaluation shall follow a single-stage procedure.
- Proposals will not be evaluated anonymously.
- Proposals will be evaluated on a continuous basis and selected on an individual basis.
- Proposals may be evaluated remotely.
- The distribution of the indicative budget of the call between the panel ERG
"European reintegration grants" and the panel IRG "International reintegration grants" will be based on the relative proportion of requested Community contribution of the eligible proposals received for each scheme. If the budget allocated to one of the panels exceeds the requirements of all proposals positively evaluated20 in that panel, the excess budget will be transferred to the other panel. Equally, if the allocated funding to one panel is insufficient to fund the highest ranked proposal in that panel, necessary budget will be transferred from the other panel in order to ensure that the highest ranked proposal can be funded.
- Indicative evaluation and contractual timetable:
- Evaluation results estimated to be available within 4 months following relevant cut-off date.
- Grant agreement signature: expected from 6 months after the relevant cut-off date.
· Consortia agreements: Participants in actions resulting from this call are not
required to conclude a consortium agreement.
The forms of grants and maximum reimbursement rates which will be offered are specified in Annex 3 of the People work programme.
