AI for Evaluating EU Proposals: What Evaluators See

Live Webinar · 25 November 2026

AI is rapidly changing how research offices, National Contact Points (NCPs), and internal evaluation panels handle proposal review workflows.

Used correctly, AI can help reviewers pre-screen large volumes of proposals faster, identify structural weaknesses, and improve internal evaluation efficiency.

Used incorrectly, it crosses ethical and procedural boundaries.

Under the European Commission’s Standard Briefing Slides v14.0, evaluators must not use AI to score proposals or make evaluation decisions. Yet many organisations still lack clear guidance on where the line actually sits.

This practical 90-minute webinar explains where AI supports proposal evaluation safely, where it introduces risk or bias, and how to build compliant AI-assisted pre-screening workflows.

Whether you manage internal evaluations, proposal triage, or research-support operations, this session will help you establish safer and more effective AI practices.

Why Attend

Research offices and evaluation teams increasingly face:

• High proposal volumes

• Limited review capacity

• Tight turnaround times

• Pressure for faster internal assessment

AI can assist with:

• Structural pre-screening

• Gap identification

• Consistency checks

• Internal evaluation support

But AI also creates risks involving:

• Bias amplification

• Lack of score traceability

• Confidentiality concerns

• Improper automated decision-making

This webinar explains:

• Where AI helps evaluators safely

• The difference between advisory and decision-making use

• Bias controls and traceability measures

• What Standard Briefing Slides v14.0 now requires

You will leave with practical frameworks for building compliant AI-assisted evaluation workflows without crossing regulatory or ethical boundaries.

What You Will Walk Away With

1. Learn Three AI Workflows for Fast Proposal Pre-Screening

See practical approaches for triaging and reviewing large proposal batches more efficiently.

2. Understand Bias Controls and Traceability

Learn how to reduce bias, document AI-supported analysis, and maintain reviewer accountability.

3. Clarify the Boundary Between AI as Advisor and AI as Decider

Understand where AI support remains acceptable — and where automated evaluation becomes non-compliant.

4. Understand What Changed in Standard Briefing Slides v14.0

See how the latest Commission guidance affects evaluators, internal reviewers, and research offices.

Frequently Asked Questions

I cannot attend live. Will I receive the recording?

Yes. The recording is sent within 24 hours and remains available for 14 days.

Is this only for first-time reviewers?

No. Experienced evaluators, NCPs, and research managers benefit equally. Most AI-related evaluation risks arise from workflow design rather than evaluation experience.

Can the EUR 50 webinar fee be applied to the workshop fee?

Yes. Attendees receive a EUR 50 discount code for the follow-up course.
