SELECTION PROCEDURE

Applications will be reviewed by a selection panel composed of renowned experts of Computational Literary Studies. The selection panel will assess all proposals received and recommend a short-list of applicants that should benefit from the fellowship. The selection panel will base its decision on scientific merit of the applications as well as on the potential impact on the applicant’s research environment.

CRITERIA

The selection panel will base its decision on the following criteria (please note that all of them are weighted the same in the evaluation):

• quality of the fit between the proposal and the proposed host;
• quality of the research/teaching idea;
• quality of the implementation plan;
• impact on the applicant’s research, their home institution or community.

Furthermore, the selection panel will pay particular attention to the motivation of the applicants and their previous efforts to gain proficiency in the field.

According to the CLS INFRA Grant agreement provisions, priority should be given to applicants:

• that have not previously used the installation (e.g. visited the infrastructure) and
• working in countries where no equivalent research infrastructure exists
