CAPR Workshop -- Brussels -- December, 2010

European Commission Workshop on Peer Review, Brussels, December 13-14, 2010.
This workshop -- co-organized with the European Commission -- brought CAPR researchers together with EC staff and representatives of a number of US and european science foundations. The goal: to understand the latest thinking about integrating broader impact concerns into peer review.
Our questions:

  • What different models for incorporating societal impacts considerations into the grant proposal peer review process can we identify?
  • How does the incorporation of societal impacts into peer review affect our understanding of expertise? All participants will come having read a small set of readings distributed prior to the workshop.

All participants attended having read a small set of readings distributed prior to the workshop. 15- 20 minute presentations were used to launch group discussions. A daily reporter collected suggestions for further collaborative problem solving.
