No guarantee: This expression of interest to participate in the AIoD Open Call evaluation as an external expert is NOT binding and does NOT constitute any commitment to the platform or the project that manages it (DeployAI).
Selection and checks: The selection of experts to support AIoD in the evaluation of the Open Call will be taken at a later stage, since it depends on the number of received proposals, their origin, the domain that they target as well as the origin of the potential evaluators, their affiliations, their expertise and the balance between various criteria (e.g. gender, background, affiliation type, age, expertise etc.). Furthermore, AIoD may be required to change the experts that support the evaluations of proposals. All experts contracted to support the evaluations will be subject to an administrative check - provision of personal information may apply.
Use of AI: AI tools may only be used for secondary purposes under the full responsibility of the expert and will be required to document their usage. Uploading applications (proposals) to any AI tool is strictly forbidden as it violates data privacy, intellectual property, and security guarantees. The expert will be solely liable for any resulting data breach.
This Contract Template sets out the rights and obligations and the terms and conditions between the contractor and the External Evaluator.
