What criteria is used to evaluate geographical balance among participants (i.e. how does ESF define to which country a potential participant belongs)?
“Affiliation” to a country is defined by the country in which a person works/is based and not by his/her nationality. A Japanese researcher employed in Germany will therefore count as “German” while a French scientist working in the US will be considered as “American” (i.e. from a “non ESF Member Organisation country”).
