Type and scope of services
As part of the overall assignment, the Arepo team developed the quantitative evaluation framework for the IKI, which was subsequently used in the assessment and evaluation of various IKI projects and outlines. Within the scope of this project Arepo evaluated 57 project proposals in the 10 funding priorities and made recommendations on individual proposals and the entire portfolio. The core team of Arepo was supported by external experts. Each application was evaluated twice. This resulted in a ranking of the project applications in each funding priority.
