ESF Community of Experts - CoEx Since 1974, over 300,000 scientists from 186 countries have benefited from participation in 2,000 ESF networks and programmes This is an invaluable network, which we are reactivating and expanding as the ESF Community of Experts. The ESF Community of Experts plays a vital role in sustaining scientific collaboration, supporting excellence in peer-review and in research grant and proposal evaluation. 

Membership in the CoEx 1┃ CoRP - College of review panel members – 195 members 2┃ CoER - College of expert reviewers – 3,900 members 3┃ CoResA - College of Reseach Associates – 172 members
