How the processes of priorisation selection of call topics and review of proposals are developing and evolving

A major objective within the PIANOFORTE partnership is the organization of several open research and innovation calls. A task group was set up within PIANOFORTE to define the research priorities for these open calls. The calls must reflect a multidisciplinary and transnational approach, and priorities should integrate global EU policies and national research programs. The major input at the start came from the CONCERT Joint Roadmap for radiation protection research and the updated SRAs of the six platforms of MEENAS
(MELODI, EURADOS, EURAMED, NERIS, ALLIANCE and SHARE). Through
collaboration with the Stakeholder Advisory Board a continuous communication with radiation protection stakeholders was maintained during the each prioritization process.
National POMs, the platforms and stakeholders were invited to actively participate in the prioritization process by expressing their opinion on the suggested research priorities and/or suggesting new ones. Up to now 2 such prioritization processes have been held, and the third one is on-going for the open call 3. An evaluation of the prioritization procedure of each call was performed after the close of each call procedure. In this talk, the procedures and results for each of the 3 calls will be explained, including the difficulties encountered during the process and the mitigation actions taken.
