With the blind evaluation pilot, the Commission wants to tackle concerns of any real or perceived effect of reputational bias that could subvert the awarding decision. Blind evaluation therefore requires that evaluators do not know the consortium and the applicants involved. As a consequence, applicants need to make the necessary adjustments when writing their proposals. To bring clarity about what is expected of applicants, NCP Flanders organised a webinar which took place on 15 June 2023.
