Procedure for selecting the proposals

The programme director takes care of the evaluation procedure of the proposals that have arrived in time. The MEE sends copies of the acceptable proposals to the programme director after the deadline of the call.

The steering groups of the research areas in the SAFIR2018 programme assess the project proposals. The first phase is the numerical and written evaluation by filling the “SAFIR2018 proposal evaluation form” (link). One form is filled by each organisation represented in the steering groups (SG1-SG3 and RG6). The SG members are encouraged to consult experts in their organisation in evaluating the proposals. Programme director makes summaries of the evaluations for the evaluation meetings of the SG´s (including the research infrastructure reference and steering group RG6).

During the project evaluation phase, the SG´s and programme director may negotiate with the parties making project proposals on changes to the plans and on combining project proposals into larger entities.

The management board (MB) makes the decision about its proposal to the MEE based on the evaluation summaries, the minutes of the SG meetings, and recommendation of a small group nominated by the MEE. The small group has its meeting after the SG meetings and before the MB meeting.

The MEE asks for a statement of STUK and then makes a proposal to VYR of the research projects to be funded. The MEE will make a proposal to VYR of one project entity that meets the requirements of the Nuclear Energy Act. The board of VYR makes the final decision.

The decisions made by VYR are sent to the organisations that have applied VYR funding in the proposals.
