Policy Support Facility – call for experts
Policy Support Facility – call for experts
A consortium led by Ecorys, with EFIS, IDEA Consult, and PPMI, is looking for experts to support upcoming assignments for the Policy Support Facility (PSF).
PSF is a tool provided by the European Commission to help EU Member States and Associated Countries reform their national research and innovation (R&I) policies and systems.
There are three types of services that countries can use, as the Commission underlines:
PSF Country (formerly PSF Peer Reviews & Specific support to countries) is an in-depth assessments of a country’s R&I system (or of parts of it) carried out by a panel of experts and peers and leading to actionable policy recommendations to the national authorities on reforms necessary to strengthen their R&I system.
PSF Challenge includes the PSF Mutual Learning Exercises and is focused on specific and operational R&I challenges of interest to several volunteering countries. It aims to identify good practice, lessons learned and success factors.
PSF Open allows countries having already benefitted from a PSF exercise to receive support to follow-up on the PSF recommendations.
The experts need to have an extensive experience in the field of R&I and an in-depth understanding of how countries can better reshape their policies to boost the status-quo of R&I. This is a great opportunity for experts to partake in policy making and provide recommendations to national governments across the EU and in Associated Countries.
