The evaluation of the applications will be done by the home and host universities based on the grading scheme agreed by the Partnership (see below). The score obtained will be the basis for the distribution of the scholarships.
For candidates not registered at a partner university, the evaluation will be done by the university that represents the respective country at the Advisory and Selection Committee (ASC).
Ánimo, ¡Chévere! considers seven specific thematic areas. The home and host universities will automatically add 10 extra points to applications for doctorate, post-doctorate and staff corresponding to one of these disciplines.

Approximately one half of the scholarships will be awarded based on the total score obtained. The other half of scholarships will be distributed taking into account the cross-cutting requirements of equal opportunities, gender-balance and real participation of disadvantaged people.
