What are the conditions?

The selected experts will assess the financial readiness of project proposals submitted for the CEF Blending call.

Relevant expertise

Experts will be called to evaluate financial readiness by measuring (within a limited time) potential delays on implementation of financing. They will have to assess real investment cases and new business models in various settings across Europe.

Availability for a maximum 10 day period in Brussels

Evaluations of the project proposals will run for two weeks from 11 to 22 September 2017 in Brussels where your presence will be required maximum 8 hours a day. If selected, you will be able to indicate your availability for one or both weeks in the 'availability check'.

No conflict of interest

Financial readiness evaluators cannot under any circumstances have a conflict of interest with any of the organisations submitting a project proposal. You will have to sign a declaration on confidentiality and absence of a conflict of interest before you can read the proposals.
