European Research Executive Agency (REA) Call for Experts

The European Research Executive Agency (REA) invites experts from a wide range of fields to register in the European Commission’s experts database.  From this database, REA selects candidates with the most suitable profile for the following activities: 1) to evaluate project proposals applying for funding under Horizon Europe, the Promotion of Agricultural Products programme and the Research Fund for Coal and Steel; 2) to monitor the implementation of funded projects.

Currently the REA seeks experts in the fields of agriculture and food, environment and bio-economy, civil security, engineering, IT and technologies,  culture and creativity, democracy and society.

For a more detailed list of the required areas of expertise, please see here.
