Others:

There are a focus on getting nominations from all the BOLDIC partners especially we work for a sustainable strategy for this.

Regarding sustainability of the award, the project partners should suggest a strategy for the selection and work of the BOLDIC Award committee after the end of the BOLDIC perspectives online project.

Everything we implement in the BOLDIC Award process should support sustainability, diverse nominations, quality, recognition and seriousness.

It is vital that we make a working framework where the different roles and responsibilities are clearly defined. It is also of importance to make all documentation easily accessible for committee members and external partners in the process.
