One of the most important processes for achieving our Mission is ensure a truly independent, excellent and professional evaluation for the applications.
Ikerbasque carries out an intensive search for the best researchers and scientific professional. The evaluators can not be members of the local scientific community, since our aim is to ensure the independence of the evaluations.
153 applications have been evaluated under the first call in 2010. 50 independent external evaluators from 15 contries have participated in the evaluation process of this call under the coordination of the following Professors:
