Cross-Domain Panel (CDP)

Scope

The board of trustees may call upon the CDP for the evaluation of applications across different domains either with or without an international dimension. These include, but are not limited to, applications involving the following funding channels:

Bilateral research cooperation, in the absence of a joint evaluation panel;
Lead Agency Procedures (LAP), where the partner organisation can also act as Lead Agency;
International Coordination actions;
Scientific Research Networks;
Special PhD Fellowships;
International mobility projects with focus on exchange of researchers;
Scientific prizes, if no ad hoc evaluation panel occurs;
Scientific reporting from the above financing channels.

For participation in ERA-NET, the Flemish members of this panel will be asked to provide prior advice.

Members - composition 2025

In 2023, FWO introduced a semi-flexible panel composition for the Cross Domain Panel (CDP) in order to guarantee an optimal fit between the topics of the submitted proposals and the expertise of the CDP members. This means that the CDP is composed out of:

a ‘CDP Core Group’ of 8 experts who are included in each CDP meeting and;
a ‘CDP Expert Pool’ of 16 academics out of which 8 will be selected to be included in a particular CDP meeting, based on the applications received.
