  • The project proposal is submitted
  • Two external (non-MPG) experts review the project proposal; the reviewers are chosen by a group of six people (three members of the steering committee LA sInfo and three members of the MPDL)
  • If necessary the project proposal can be revised, after which it is reviewed again
