6 19 evaluation panels (~250 researchers) … G. Ingelman: VR grant applications6 … assess and prioritise research applications + observers from the Council that supervise evaluation work NT-L Semiconductor Physics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Photonics Semiconductor Physics, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Photonics, Electrophysics, Electrical Measurement and Instrumentation, Electric Power Technology NT-MN Subatomic Physics, Astrophysics, Space Physics and Fusion Astroparticle Physics, Astrophysics, Elementary particle physics, Fusion, Mathematical physics, Nuclear physics, Radiation physics, Relativity theory and cosmology, Space physics NT-NO Atomic and Molecular Physics and Condensed Matter Physics Atomic physics, Chemical physics, Cluster physics, Condensed matter physics, Magnetics, Molecular physics, Nanoscience, Optics, Plasma physics, Quantum information, Quantum liquids and quantum materials, Statistical physics, Structural and vibrational physics, Superconduction NT-P Engineering Physics Chemical Physics, Magnetism, Super-conduction, Electronic Structure, Structural and Vibration Physics, Low-temperature Physics, Macromolecular Physics, Mesoscopic Physics, Optics, Computational Physics, Statistical Physics, Non-linear Dynamics, Chaos, Biological Physics NT-Q Materials Science Material Chemistry, Polymeric Materials, Ceramics, Glass, Metallic Materials, Surface and Colloid Physics, Metallurgical Process and Production Technology, Material Structure, Material Production and Processing, Heat Treatment, Surface Coating, Corrosion, Material Characterisation, Design of Materials, Properties of Materials, Atomic Computations, Thermodynamics, Diffusion, Phase Transformations, Physical and Mechanical Metallography

7 NT-MN G. Ingelman: VR grant applications7 Evaluation panel with 14 members to cover theory & experiments in nuclear & particle physics, astroparticle physics, astrophysics, mathematical physics, relativity, cosmology + space physics & fusion (since 2009) Task:check/grade  120 applications: 70 projects, 26 research assistant, 18 equipment/operation/planning Each application reviewed by 3 members  up to 35 applications/member (no external experts)

8 NT-MN project applications: grades & priorities G. Ingelman: VR grant applications8 5=outstanding/world leading 4=excellent/national leading 3=very good, 2=good,1=insufficient 5=highest, 4=high 3=medium, 2=low, 1=rejected Competence of applicant Quality of project Feasibility of project For young researchers, more based on potential !!

9 NT-MN project applications: budget allocation 2010 G. Ingelman: VR grant applications9 New boundary conditions: grant  300 kSEK (135 last year)  grant   700 kSEK (15% increase) 11.6 MSEK available for NT-MN  Maximum 17 grants possible !! max min 19/70  27% success rate

10 Reference group 3 G. Ingelman: VR grant applications10 combines the 5 panels NT-L + NT-MN + NT-NO + NT-P + NT-Q represented by their chairpersons, also NT-board members 2010: 6.9 MSEK for projects (reshuffling/competition)  grant   690 kSEK  10 grants  2 grants/group 8.7 MSEK for 5-6 research assistant positions  1 position/group + 1 extra to applicant within NT-MN 6 positions for 74 applications  success rate 8%
