We are looking for agri-food marketing experts!

The European Commission co-funds campaigns to promote its farm products in the EU and worldwide, in line with the EU promotion policy. To evaluate campaign proposals competing for EU funding in 2025, the European Research Executive Agency needs the knowledge and experience of independent professionals in the field. 

What are we looking for? 

We are looking for experts from private and public organisations that are: 

• experienced in marketing and communications with a background in the agri-food sector; 
• knowledgeable in quality schemes, organic products, and consumer behaviour; 
• familiar with aspects of sustainability of production and consumption related to agri-food; 
• experienced in market analysis and campaign evaluations as well as budgetary analysis; 
• knowledgeable in EU and third country agri-food markets. 

What will you do? 

Selected experts will evaluate proposals submitted under the 2025 Promotion of agricultural products call for proposals. As a proposal evaluator, you will be part of a panel that assesses funding proposals based on defined selection criteria. The panel’s assessment will be the basis of the European Commission's funding decision. 

In most cases, you will carry out your work online. However, you may also be invited to attend an on-site evaluation in Brussels. In this instance, you may be eligible for accommodation and subsistence allowances, as well as the reimbursement of your travel costs.  

For more information, please see our “Work as an expert” page and the model contract for experts.
