Call for Expresion of Interest - EIT Food Evaluators: Commercialisation Evaluators

EIT Food Innovation invites applications from commercialisation experts to join our database of independent evaluators for our various calls for proposals. The first deadline is 13 April 2023.

Commercialisation evaluators will be part of a team of evaluators, including agri-food and EIT Food strategy experts, that will select innovation projects. Projects are selected through a process of calls and proposal evaluation, where our Commercialisation evaluators will be tasked with:

1. Reviewing full proposal applications, with a specific focus on determining the financial and commercial soundness of the proposal, including where appropriate, business models, commercialisation plans, financial return mechanisms, forecasts etc.
2. Qualitatively assessing proposals according to pre-defined evaluation criteria.
3. Composing well-crafted comments in English on their scores.
4. Preparing for and actively engaging in the Panel Meetings with the evaluation team.

Prior to assignment to an evaluator team, evaluators will be contracted and given a description of the tasks, duration, location (remote/physical), remuneration rates, and reimbursement methods. Evaluators will be issued both a Code of Conduct, including confidentiality, and a Conflict of Interest for each assignment to be reviewed and signed.

EIT Food Innovation is constituting a database of independent commercialisation experts with proven professional experience evaluating innovation proposals.
