Analysis of Evaluation Summary Reports: Key Criteria Across Calls

The ad hoc analysis of the ESRs of the different calls reveals differences in the evaluators' comments on the different types of actions.

This analysis, carried out in the framework of the Horizon Academy project, aims to provide a representative overview for reviewing/pre-screening proposals containing most of the criteria used by evaluators.

In addition to these criteria, specific call criteria have to be considered.

We expect the findings to be useful for applicants to anticipate possible weaknesses and improve the presentation of their proposals.
