I had the opportunity to assess varous research
projects and proposals in the course of my own academic
career. Since 2004, I am a member of the Swiss association
of university women fellowships committee, which implies
assessing several dozens of proposals per year and selecting
up to 5 for funding . Since 2007, I have also served
on the IFUW fellowships committee and had a very rich and
valuable experience while working with the fellow committee
members on the selection of grant recipients. |
