Swiss seek full disclosure in FP9

The European Commission should give Framework 9 applicants access to the full evaluation reports for their proposals, a Swiss position paper on the programme has said.

Giving applicants access to their reports would help make the Framework 9 evaluation system “clear and transparent” according to the paper. The document was written by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation with the support of other national bodies.

“Access to the full evaluation reports should be provided to the applicants in a timely manner, such that the feedback allows applicants to understand the outcome of their evaluation and supports them in improving their project idea in the future,” the paper said.
