Appeal Submitted
The Women TechEU Team will thoroughly investigate complaints to determine if a re-evaluation of the proposal is justified. A decision will be communicated within no more than twenty days from the date of receiving the complaint, provided that all required information has been submitted by the complainant. If this timeline cannot be met, the complainant will be informed by email of the delay and given a new decision date
In instances where re-evaluation is deemed necessary, the outcome will directly replace the initial score without undergoing normalization or any other adjustment process. This clause is specifically designed to expedite the appeal resolution and prevent delays in the project’s timeline
To maintain the efficiency of the process, each proposal is allowed a single appeal. The decision reached at the end of the appeal process is final, concluding any further discussion regarding the proposal’s evaluation. The opinions by the reviewers are subjective and may not be the same as the applicant’s. Our process ensures scores are normalised to reduce usual personal bias by the external experts and averaged to ensure consensus is met with the final score. Applicants may have different opinions about the outcome and opinions of the evaluators. Women TechEU open call team will not provide an opinion over the evaluators’ opinion and scores unless a factual error is detected.
