Outcomes
European Experts Exchange Portfolio
The European Experts Exchange Portfolio is intended to facilitate locating experts, publishing experts’ background in panel reports and, finally, sharing of (trained/experienced) experts across borders.
This portfolio should enable the inclusion of standardised contact details (vCard-standard) and the expert’s relevant expertise. We foresee databases per QA & A Agency and these databases are then included in a network in order to synchronise information (i.e. portfolios).
The filled-in portfolios will however not be publicly available. Only QA/A Agencies or authenticated users can search for experts.
