SELECTION OF KEYWORDS IN SEP

HOW TO COMPLETE THE TASK IN A FEW MINUTES

H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017

Introduction

We will guide you in the selection of keywords in our 'SEP' IT application by future possible expert

evaluators for RISE 2017.

The available keywords for the H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017 call are broken down in three levels

(annex 1). In order to work efficiently, we recommend that you prepare your selection of keywords

according to the provided key words only. Once you have pre-selected a range of keywords

(between 5 to 10 at third level-annex 1), the selection of these keywords in SEP will take a few

minutes only.

How to?

You have received a notification of task in the Participant Portal. Access to Participant Portal is:

http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/experts/index.html

and then

Log into by using your ECAS account.

-If you encounter any problems with your ECAS account (i.e. your task list is empty, the account

does not correspond to the account you usually use or if you don't remember your ECAS account)

please contact the Helpdesk: EC-RESEARCH-IT-HELPDESK@ec.europa.eu

-If you encounter technical problems with the selection of keywords in SEP, please notify us by

writing to DIGIT-EFP7-SEP-SUPPORT@ec.europa.eu

You can access your notifications on the navigation panel:

and the link to the IT application (SEP).

You can access the link also directly: https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/evaluation/

How do I search for the keywords I preselected?

Once you entered SEP, this is the first screen you will see – click on 'Active tasks':

Click on .

This is the second screen where you can make your selection by clicking on the selected third-level

keywords.

The blue buttons:

"Save" to save temporarily

o "Save" regularly

"Submit" to save permanently and complete the entire task of selecting keywords

o Please wait 28 March 2017 to submit your choice

You will NOT receive a notification upon successful completion.

If you already prepared your selection of keywords with the help of the annex 1 comprising all the

keywords structured into three levels, then you can find these keywords by using CTRL+F. You

may also just scroll down the list.

4/20

Rate the weighting in SEP

Rate the weighting (Excellent-Very good-Good) of your expertise for the selected keyword once

you selected the keyword by clicking on it.

5/20

Selected keywords listing in SEP

Once you have selected 5 to 10 third-level keywords, they would appear on the left panel and

inactive (grey in italics).

You changed your mind and you want to de-select a chosen keyword? Move the mouse cursor

over the selected keyword and click on the keyword. A green arrow appears and by mouse-click

you can remove the keyword from your selection.

6/20

Submit your selected keywords listing in SEP

You are sure about the selected keywords and you want to submit your selection.

Please wait 28 March 2017 to finalise/submit your choice. We will come back to you on the most

selected/less selected keywords.
