The right to submit a proposal is granted to all natural persons who meet the above qualifications.
Submission of the proposal/application implies consent to the use of the applicants’ personal data for evaluation purposes, as well as their legally required use for transparency reasons in the publication of the relevant decisions in accordance with the applicable provisions, in the DIAVGEIA system.
Selection process
The submitted proposals are evaluated and the one selected is the proposal that is submitted on time, is admissible, and fully meets— in the best possible manner— the substantive terms (eligibility conditions and all required qualifications) of this Call.
Any proposal that does not cumulatively meet the submission requirements and all required qualifications of this Call is not scored and is automatically rejected.
Replacement of a proposal, correction, or submission of any missing supporting documents is permitted only until the expiration of the submission deadline.
It is noted that the procedure for this call for proposals for the conclusion of a contract is not competitive in nature, and any selection of a contracting party constitutes acceptance of a proposal and not a “recruitment.”
The call process will be completed with the drafting of a ranking table (a ranking table is not required if only one proposal has been submitted or if only one proposal has been scored).
Interested parties are required to demonstrate reasonable diligence by monitoring (using the Call’s protocol number), through the electronic posting route of this Call, whether the evaluation results (decision of the Research Committee) have been published both in the DIAVGEIA system and on the website of the Research Committee (http://elke.uniwa.gr/).
In the event of a tie between candidates, a public drawing of lots will be conducted prior to the preparation of the final ranking tables.
The Evaluation Committee scores the proposals based on the candidates’ qualifications and criteria as listed above per position, on the basis of the supporting documents submitted, and prepares the relevant evaluation report including the ranking table per position according to the above qualifications/criteria.
Candidates who do not meet one or more of the required qualifications are rejected by the Evaluation Committee.
It is emphasized that, during the evaluation process, rules promoting gender equality in the labor market will be observed.
The Special Account for Research Funds (ELKE) may terminate the present contract exclusively for serious cause, either unilaterally or following a documented request by the Scientific Officer, after a relevant decision by the competent body of ELKE.
In the event of improper or negligent performance of the contractual duties by the contracting party, prior to termination a reasonable period must be granted (in the most appropriate manner) by the Scientific Officer to the contracting party in order to comply.
Unilateral termination of the contract shall be effected by notification of the above decision to the beneficiary and by its publication in the DIAVGEIA system.
Any termination (unilateral rescission) or mutual termination of this contract may take place while the contract remains in force.
Additional comments
A candidate who wishes to submit an objection regarding the evaluation results retains the right to lodge an objection within five (5) calendar days following the announcement of the results on “DIAVGEIA” and on the website of the Research Committee (http://elke.uniwa.gr/).
The objection may be submitted either by email to: elke@uniwa.gr, or by sending or submitting a registered letter to the above address.
The objection is addressed to the Objections Committee of the Special Account for Research Funds (ELKE) of the University of West Attica. Objections submitted after the expiry of the above deadline shall be considered late and shall not be examined.
Candidates have the right of access to their own documents as well as to those of their co-candidates. This right is exercised in favor of the applicant under the condition that the provisions set out in document no. Γ/ΕΞ/4163-1/06.07.2012 of the Hellenic Data Protection Authority are observed, namely where the applicant has a legitimate interest in defending his/her rights before the competent courts.
The ELKE of the University of West Attica assumes no obligation to conclude a contract, as the conclusion or non-conclusion of contracts, as well as their number, lies entirely within its full discretion, excluding any claim or expectation on the part of the interested parties.
This Call for Expression of Interest, as well as the provisional and final ranking tables, are published in the DIAVGEIA system and on the website of the Research Committee (http://elke.uniwa.gr/).
