THE DUTCH RESEARCH COUNCIL ASSESSOR

I like the way how the Dutch works. 

They appoint scientific assessors/reviewers based on one’s expertise; expert that based on their research field.

They do not simply appoint any Dutch Head of the Ministry/Department or any Director of an Dutch Institute which are not the experts of the field. 

The keyword here is the “expert of the field”. 

I’ve been appointed by The Dutch Research Council (NWO) and The Netherlands e-Science Center (NLeSC) as their part of their Scientific Panel to evaluate their researchers proposal submitted for the Dutch research grant application. Definitely I’m not Dutch but the research topics submitted is in my area of expertise. 

As an international assessor representative, I need to prepare a comprehensive report and comments. I have managed to complete it in-time even during this strenuous time frame.
