* Evaluation criteria

The Core Group will use the following criteria for ranking the proposals:

  • Contribution to the objectives and deliverables of the DAEMON action
  • Scientific relevance
  • Geographical inclusiveness (the ITC classification is according to the affiliation of the candidate)
  • Gender balance, career stage, and previous funding through this COST Action

To optimize the use of the available budget, the Grant Awarding Coordinator or the Core Group may propose a reduction of the total amount granted to an individual application. 

Visit the corresponding sub-pages in this section for a detailed overview of the application process.

DAEMON strongly encourages each beneficiary to communicate to our community and/or the general public your experience and to what extent you benefitted from the awarded grant.

Besides through your private channels (personal X, LinkedIn, etc.), this will be best achieved through DAEMON’s and COST Association’s media channels.
