RESIST Eurocluster has launched a call for independent external experts to participate in the evaluation of proposals submitted under its Innovation Open Calls. The initiative aims to ensure a transparent, impartial and high-quality assessment process for the innovation projects presented by SMEs operating in the European Mobility, Transport and Automotive ecosystem.
RESIST is looking for professionals with technical expertise in the MTA sector and previous experience in the evaluation of innovation or R&D projects. External evaluators will play a key role in the selection process by assessing eligible proposals submitted to both the Process Innovation and Product & Service Innovation Open Calls. To guarantee an independent evaluation, applicants must have no conflict of interest with either the RESIST consortium or the companies whose proposals they evaluate.
The evaluation process will begin once the submission deadline for the Open Calls has passed on 13 July 2026 at 17:00 CEST. After the RESIST consortium completes the eligibility check of all submitted applications, the selected external experts will receive the proposals assigned to them for evaluation. Assessments will be carried out until mid-September 2026, following the official evaluation criteria defined in the Open Call Guidelines. The scores awarded by the evaluators will be used to establish a ranking of proposals, which will support the final selection of the projects to be funded.
Professionals interested in joining the RESIST pool of external evaluators are invited to contact the project team through our general email. Further information about the evaluation process, timeline and participation requirements will be provided after receiving expressions of interest.
