Division 3.1.10 Reporting and information on the peer review evaluation process

Following each peer review evaluation, a report is prepared by the ERCEA and made available to the ERC Scientific Council and the Ideas programme committee. The report gives statistical information on the proposals received (for example, number, priority themes covered, categories of applicant legal entities and budget requested), on the evaluation procedure and on the independent experts.

For communication purposes, the ERCEA may publish, after the end of the evaluation process and in any appropriate media, general information on the outcome of the peer review evaluation. Moreover, the ERCEA may publish information on the evaluated proposals which are above quality threshold as a result of the evaluation (or after step 2 in a two-step evaluation)^f1 and for which individual consent for publication of the specific data is granted by the applicants^f2.

For purposes related to monitoring, study and evaluation foreseen by the Ideas Work programmes, the ERCEA may need that submitted proposals be processed by third parties^f3 in compliance with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Applicants^f4 are asked to give their free individual consent to the processing of proposals. The individual consent is not requested on a compulsory base and it is only provided on a voluntary base by the applicants. Refusal to give the individual consent does not affect the evaluation process.
