International Expert Network
About the Network
Mykolas Romeris University (MRU), based in Vilnius, Lithuania, is establishing an international pool of external experts to support the quality and objectivity of internal research funding decisions.
The University is currently running two internal funding schemes for research groups and individual researchers. In both cases, project proposals must undergo an independent expert evaluation before funding is awarded. To ensure transparency and high academic standards, MRU invites experienced international experts to join its evaluation pool.
Role of Experts
Experts in the MRU International Expert Network may be invited to act as evaluators of internal project applications submitted by MRU researchers.
