On 7 October the European Commission launched a call for experts to help developing and deploying a methodology to monitor EU Missions. The aim is to enable the monitoring of EU Missions beyond Horizon Europe, looking at the contribution of other funding programmes at EU and national, as well as at regional and local level towards the achievement of Missions’ objectives.

The expert group will have up to 9 independent top experts. 

Among the requirements, experts should demonstrate knowledge and experience with EU Missions, in research and innovation policy analysis, performance measurement of research and innovation programmes, monitoring and reporting mechanisms of the EU framework programmes. They should also demonstrate a good understanding of the priority-setting, implementation and monitoring of national policies and initiatives, including analysis of national data, governance and support mechanisms. Good knowledge of English is also expected, to allow each expert’s active participation in the discussions.   

Candidates can submit their application via the news item published on the European Commission website, in addition to the expert group register online.

The deadline for applications is Saturday 5 November 2022.
