Evaluation of project proposals
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection supports research and technology development projects in civil, commercial aviation in Germany with its civil aviation research programme (LuFo).
Calls for projects that can be funded under this programme are published at regular intervals. Interested applicants can submit their project outlines to the Project Management Organisation for Aeronautics Research within a specific deadline.
At the end of this submission period, the submitted outlines are presented to an expert committee consisting of at least three external and independent experts. These experts discuss the technical eligibility of the outlined projects while maintaining the confidentiality of business secrets and evaluate them.
We are looking for suitable candidates for this role who have relevant expertise and industry knowledge, but who are not involved in LuFo themselves and do not have a conflict of interest. For example, reviewers must not be employed by an employer that receives LuFo funding or must have left this employer for at least two years.
