OverviewThe European Commission appoints independent experts to assist with assignments including the evaluation of proposals, the monitoring of actions, and the preparation, implementation or evaluation of programmes, and design of policies. In the new My Experts Area, the EU has simplified profile validation for users (experts or applicants). There is less mandatory information and efforts have been made to avoid introducing the same information twice. The IT tools have also evolved to support not only experts, but also applicants participating in hearings. For the moment the same information is required for both experts and applicants. If you are using our tools as an applicant, please note that all guidance given for experts is also useful for you. You have the possibility to delegate administrative tasks such as profile completion, drafting of your request for payment. The submission remains your responsibility. Data PrivacyBy default your profile is visible to all EU institutions an bodies including the European Commission, Executive and Regulatory Agencies, Joint Undertakings (and related programmes) and other EU institutions such as the European Parliament, European Council, Court of Justice of the European Union, European Investment Bank, etc. You have the option to opt-out of programmes that do not interest you. Experts Area Dashboard The Experts Area Dashboard gives the expert an overview of all information, and allows easy access to their profile, contracts, payments and tasks. - On the left-hand side there is a menu allowing you to directly access the main areas of the Expert Registration, Contracting and Payment service.
