Selection of users
On-site: The selection of on-site access projects is a two-step process with (i) local TA committees grouping the applications according to eligibility, feasibility, etc., and (ii) an ASSEMBLE User Selection Panel evaluating all proposals and making the selection, particularly with regard to scientific excellence of the project and competence of the main applicant. The User Selection Panel comprises four members of the ASSEMBLE Project Implementation Committee (PIC) and four external evaluators:
