THEMATIC COMMITTEES

The Foundation’s Thematic Committees are composed of members of the Scientific Council and external experts. They meet to assess and select the projects submitted to the Foundation’s calls for proposals.

The project selection process is demanding because only the most promising research projects are selected on the basis of criteria of scientific excellence. Depending on the topics, the selection of projects is carried out in one step (evaluation on the entire proposal) or in two steps (preselection on a letter of intent and then evaluation on the entire proposal), according to the schedule of calls for projects established with the scientific board.
