30. Evaluations and experts
Evaluation principles:
• Fair and equal treatment of all proposers
• Based on the information published in the call/topic text
• Confidential process, no conflicts of interest
Proposals submitted under H2020 calls are evaluated by independent experts that assist the Commission in the evaluation exercise on their own personal capacity not representing any country nor institution.

31. Evaluations
Proposals are evaluated on the basis of the 3 AWARD CRITERIA:
• Excellence
• Impact
• Implementation
 Each criterion is subdivided in a set of sub-criteria,
 Each award criterion refers to a specific SECTION OF THE PROPOSAL where applicants need to demonstrate that they have adequately addressed the criterion in question.
