Important Notice:

Please note that this expression of interest to participate in the AI4Media Open Calls evaluation as an external expert is NOT binding and does NOT represent any commitment to the AI4Media project. 

The selection of the experts to support the evaluation of the AI4Media Open Call #2 will be carried out at a later stage as it depends on the number of applications received, their origin, and the domains that they address. The selection will also consider the origin of the experts, their affiliations, their expertise, and the balance between various criteria (e.g., gender, background, affiliation type, age, expertise etc.). Furthermore, the project is obliged to frequently change experts that support the evaluations of applications.
