I provided an expert opinion on a grant application for the Scientific Committee of the “Wetenschappelijk Fonds Willy Gepts”. The project is for a PhD student, working on a large UE project, and need an extra year to be able to finish their PhD. The delay was due in part to COVID-19. My expert opinion includes reviewing the application and rating it per criteria provided by the funder Wetenschappelijk Fonds Willy Gepts”.
