ELLIS_faculty_2020: ELLIS Faculty Evaluation |

Instructions for submissions to the core faculty evaluation
The selection process of ELLIS fellows/scholars and ELLIS Faculty is independent of each other:
- ELLIS fellows/scholars belong to an ELLIS fellowship program (nominated by the program directors)
- ELLIS Faculty belong to an ELLIS unit (nominated by the head of the unit)
ELLIS fellows/scholars are proposed by the program directors and elected by a committee. As we want to have a similar quality check for the ELLIS Faculty, the list of candidates for ELLIS Faculty will be evaluated by a committee formed by the directors of each unit. To avoid conflicts of interest, all the reviews were done by scientists of countries different from the units being evaluated.
The Core Faculty has to be submitted by each unit by May 10th. A template for the Core Faculty is provided below. Please declare your conflict of interest on EasyChair!
All proposed faculty members will be evaluated individually, and the criteria used for the evaluation will be based on the scientific excellence and relevance to ELLIS and to the ELLIS unit. Being an ELLIS faculty member is linked to a specific unit (relevant if e.g. someone leaves the university/institute).
There will be no distinction between junior and senior Faculty. The ELLIS Faculty should represent all levels of Faculty that exists (a mix of junior and senior researchers should be included). The nominations should anyway include only outstanding researchers - even if they are at the beginning of their career. They should be related to the programs, benefits and duties (e.g. PhD program) in the context of ELLIS.
It will always be possible to nominate new core faculty members later. For the beginning it would be good to be rather too selective (i.e. we initially limit the number of nominations per unit to maximal 10 core faculty members). ELLIS units are likely to have larger groups of associated faculty members who maintain collaborations with the core faculty but are freely selected by the units without evaluation of the international evaluation committee.

Relevance to ELLIS and the Unit

For your information, the Reviewing form will look like this:
Scientific Excellence. Please, provide your assessment about the scientific excellence of the candidate as evidenced by scientific impact (#citations, h-index), invited talks/tutorials at top tier conferences, responsibilities, service commitments (AC/PC/editorial board memberships, co-chairing of conferences), awards and honors. Note that here scientific excellence should be evaluated independently of the research direction of the candidate.
Societal Impact. Please, provide your assessment about the societal impact of the candidate, including: -startups, -patents, -secondary employments, -tech transfer, -government impact, -media presence -keynote talks outside of the scientific community
Relevance and Relationship to ELLIS and/or the ELLIS unit. Please, provide your assessment of the candidate's relevance and relationship to ELLIS and/or the ELLIS unit. How much is the candidate's research linked to top ML-based AI? Does the candidate collaborate with other ELLIS fellows/scholars/units/top ML-based AI researchers? Did they already participate in ELLIS workshops? Do they offer volunteering work for ELLIS?
Overall evaluation.* Please provide your overall evaluation. The most important criterion is research excellence in ML-based AI as evidenced by publications at the relevant top tier conferences or by research excellence and close collaborations with ELLIS fellows/scholars or other strong ML-based researchers. How much does the person strengthen ELLIS and its mission?
