The research expert profile database allows anyone to search, by topic or faculty member, to determine what are the most relevant publications, who were the authors, and who could be a good collaborator on a research project. The database is powered by the Elsevier Pure database that provides quarterly updates to publications by Johns Hopkins faculty.

When you become an expert, you'll become eligible for exclusive program perks, like special badges in the Google Help Communities, direct access to Google employees to provide product feedback, eligibility for beta testing opportunities, and a chance to attend expert only events.

Join the Product Experts Program by signing up at productexperts.withgoogle.com. After sign-up, you will land in your Product Experts Profile where you can access the Google Help Communities and begin helping users in the product community of your choice.

There are five statuses in the Product Experts Program: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Product Experts become eligible for status upgrades upon reaching specific point thresholds in each Google Help Community they participate in.

*Note that Bronze Member status is granted automatically. Every status afterwards must be changed by a Community Manager. Community Managers look for enthusiastic users who provide helpful, accurate answers in their communities.

Alumni: members who are no longer active, and for any reason have to step aside from the Community but were previously recognized for their helpfulness will be acknowledged as Alumni. They will have their previous contributions recognized through an official Alumni badge.

ECDC may engage both remunerated and non-remunerated external experts. The selection of external experts is based on their professional capacity following pre-defined criteria.

Where a particular task relating to the field described in a profile is to be performed by an external expert, the ECDC will select experts for the task on the basis of pre-defined criteria, such as the skills, experience and knowledge necessary and in accordance with the principles of non-discrimination, equal treatment and absence of conflict of interests.

ECDC is committed to identifying the most suitable experts with best alignment between the competencies, knowledge and experience needed for the defined task and the expertise available. ECDC also ensures that the selection and engagement of externals experts follow the principles of fairness and transparency. The Expert Directory is an important resource to support these aims, as the depth and breadth of global public health knowledge and experience it contains ensures that ECDC is able to identify and engage suitable experts to contribute to ECDC activities.

ECDC admits applicants who meet the selection criteria indicated in the call to a list of pre-selected experts. The list is used as the basis for appointments during the validity of the call. The list of experts is valid for 5 years from the publication of the call of interest or for a period specified under the advertised expert profile. When external expertise is needed for a specific scientific task, the ECDC Director shall select and appoint one or several external experts from the aforementioned list based on pre-defined ranking criteria. The external expert and ECDC shall subsequently conclude a written contract, which regulates their mutual rights and duties.

In order to remain eligible for appointment, external experts must keep their profiles on Expert Directory regularly updated and resubmit an annual declaration of interest. If the external expert fails to resubmit his or her declaration of interest annually and (s)he will not be able to be selected for an assignment.

The responsibility for the operation of the Directory lies with the Scientific Methods and Standards Unit (SMS) in ECDC. However, the application of the Directory, including the identification of expertise for specific tasks, and engagement with specific experts is the responsibility of the leader of each activity in ECDC, but supported by SMS. What happens after I respond to a call for expression of interest for remunerated experts?

The Expert Directory contains the profiles of all applicants who have expressed their interest in becoming a remunerated ECDC expert following a call for expression of interest and whose scientific expertise has been validated.

Each time ECDC needs support from an external expert for a specific scientific task, a shortlist of potential experts is drawn up from the directory. ECDC contacts the candidate(s) who closely match the sought profile, to check on their availability and interest in participating in the identified task.

Please note also that an application as an external expert does not lead to employment with ECDC as a staff member. If you are interested in a permanent employment at ECDC, please see the job opportunities for vacancies at ECDC.

Additionally profiles of remunerated experts (experts who expressed interest for remunerated work by selecting the reference number of a call for expression of interest in the Expert Directory) will be checked against the pre-defined selection criteria published in the call for expression of interest.

As an independent EU agency, ECDC is obliged to act in public interest and to fulfil its tasks objectively and independently from external interests. It must therefore avoid any situations, which might raise any reasonable doubt of bias.

Yes. Experts listed on Expert Directory shall update their profiles regularly. Additionally, they must resubmit an annual declaration of interest and confirm their interest to remain active in the Directory. Therefore, the external experts who do not update their profiles annually become unavailable for selection.

All data included in your profile, included personal data, will be visible to ECDC staff who wish to look for specific expertise. You profile may also be accessed by other EU institutions and agencies as well as with EU Member State if you agree. ECDC will not share your personal data with third parties without your prior permission or without a legal ground for such a data transfer prescribed by law. You can express your permission to share your profile information in the application. However, such a permission is not mandatory for the listing on Expert Directory.

As an external expert listed on Expert Directory, you are entitled to obtain information about the processing of your personal data as well as to access, rectify, delete and transfer your personal data as stipulated under Regulation (EU) 2018/1724.

The Expert Directory contains the profiles of all applicants who have expressed interest in becoming a remunerated external expert following a call for expression of interest. The applicants who meet the selection criteria set out in the call are admitted to a list of pre-selected experts that is valid for 4 years since the publication of the call.

However, you can maximise your chances of being selected as an external expert by providing as much information relating to the selection criteria (e.g., education, work experience, merits) as possible, and by keeping your profile regularly updated.

Please note also that an application as an external expert does not lead to employment with ECDC as a staff member. If you are interested in a permanent employment at ECDC, please see the job opportunities for vacancies at ECDC.

This reference number links your profile to an ongoing call. Please be advised that without an explicit expression of interest following a published call, you cannot be appointed as a remunerated external expert. However, may still be considered for non-remunerated assignments.

After having been approached by ECDC and accepted your nomination, you will conclude a written contract with ECDC, which defines your task and stipulates the mutual rights and duties. In particular, you shall commit yourself to confidentiality, transparency and accountability as well as to rendering work, reporting and acting in public interest. ECDC, on the other hand, shall commit itself to indemnifying you for the work rendered and to reimbursing the expenses incurred in the course of the assignment.

ECDC will indemnify you for the work rendered with a lump sum per day worked on the assignment. The amount of the indemnity is enshrined in the appointment decision and in the expert contract. It shall not exceed the amount of EUR 450 per day of work.

The number of days of work depends on your assignment but it is limited to 30 ways of work per calendar year for ordinary experts. Experts entrusted with preparatory work or with a chairing function may be remunerated for up to 60 days of work per calendar year.
