Seeking Evaluators
Cyprus Seeds, a nonprofit organization in Cyprus and a strategic partner of MITEF Greece, supports, for the second year, the commercialization of innovative scientific research in Cyprus. To this effect, it recently announced a Call for Pre-Proposals with deadline for receiving applications, the 17th May.
They are currently in the process of identifying a pool of evaluators for the applications they will receive. To-date, Cyprus Seeds received 25 applications from the Universities and Research Centers of Cyprus, in a variety of areas including Health, AI, agriculture, cognitive computational neuroscience, energy, environmental monitoring, clinical neurophysiology and rehabilitation sciences!
The Evaluators’ contribution is critical to choosing the most promising scientific projects, with strong IP value and the potential to commercialize.
The Evaluation process is going to be in 2 stages. The first stage asks for Pre-Proposals which are short and simple. On the basis of Pre-Proposals, the projects that are worth funding will be short listed and will be invited to send a FULL proposal which requires more detailed information on the technology, the IP and the Team. It is expected that Evaluators will spend between half an hour and one hour in assessing one proposal.
We encourage you to be an Evaluator for Cyprus Seeds, which we consider a unique initiative with the prospect of creating startups, thus offer job opportunities to the youth. Amongst the initial promoters of Cyprus Seeds are George David, philanthropist and Founding member of THI, The Leventis family, The Hellenic Initiative and a number of Greeks and Cypriots of the Diaspora in Boston.
