The calls for independent experts for Horizon 2020 have been published (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOHtml.do?uri=OJ:C:2013:342:SOM:EN:HTML). They are addressed to individuals for the establishment of a database of prospective independent experts and to organisations such as research agencies, research institutions, universities, standardisation organisations, civil society organisations or enterprises, to attract experts with the widest range of profiles needed for Horizon 2020. These include all the areas of research but also cross-cutting aspects such as: innovation, SMEs, dissemination, knowledge transfer and intellectual property rights, social and economic sciences and humanities, sustainable development and international cooperation. The final expert database will be used, amongst others, to select expert evaluators and reviewers.
