BRIDGE invites experts and stakeholder representatives to express their interest in joining the BRIDGE Knowledge and Community Hub contributor pool.

Applicants admitted to the contributor pool may be contacted where their expertise, experience or stakeholder perspective is relevant to specific BRIDGE activities. Possible forms of contribution may include online workshops, expert discussions, interviews, surveys, written feedback, case discussions or simulation-related consultations.

Inclusion in the contributor pool does not guarantee involvement in a specific BRIDGE activity. Participation will be flexible, activity-based and dependent on the evolving needs of the project, the relevance of the contributor’s profile and the contributor’s availability.

The information requested in this form serves two purposes. Information on your relevance to BRIDGE, your expertise, experience or stakeholder perspective, and your affiliations and interests will be used to assess whether you meet the minimum requirements for admission to the contributor pool. The remaining profile information will help BRIDGE identify suitable contributors for specific activities.

BRIDGE will use the information you provide to assess your application, manage the contributor pool and contact you about relevant Hub activities. Further information about how your personal data will be handled and your rights is available in the BRIDGE Knowledge and Community Hub Privacy Notice [link].
