Mario Pagliaro has
delivered today the
evaluation
report of a postdoctoral research project in
materials
science submitted to the Research Foundation - Flanders.
The
Research Foundation – Flanders
(Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, FWO) is an independent funding
agency that supports fundamental scientific and strategic basic
research in all disciplines in Flanders (Belgium).
Its mission is to stimulate and support
groundbreaking research in all areas
of science at Flemish universities, possibly in collaboration with
other research institutes.
FWO funds excellent and promising
researchers as well as research projects on the basis of an
interuniversity competition and an evaluation by national and
international experts. The most important criterion is the scientific
quality of the researcher and the research proposal.
The review report of Dr Pagliaro will now provide FWO expert panels
with standardized advice and information, which will assist them in the
task of ranking the applications in order of priority.
"
Having another
prestigious institution asking our advice from a country which hosts
scientific
institutions ranked amongst the world's best
-- says Dr Pagliaro --
further
enhances the recnognition of
research carried out in Sicily by our Group".
