Substantial deficiencies and missing sections in the application will lead to the exclusion of the application from further evaluation and rejection on formal grounds. The strict timeline of the call does not allow for proposals to be sent back to the applicants for amendments.

Selection by the Call Jury

The core element of WWTF’s decision-making processes is the call jury mandated to make a funding recommendation to the WWTF boards. 

The decision will be taken by the jury only. No external reviews will be sought. 

Basis for the decision-making is the individual assessment of the proposals ahead of the jury meeting by the jury members and a two-day selection meeting. The jury provides funding recommendation of projects to the WWTF Boards.

The jury may recommend budget cuts as well as additional conditions for funding.

Formal funding decision by WWTF Boards

The jury recommendation will be formally confirmed first by the WWTF Advisory Board and then approved by the WWTF Board of Directors.
