A total of 17 partial projects were submitted for evaluation under the first internal Call for Proposals. The projects underwent formal evaluation and met all the specified requirements outlined in the Call for Proposals. Subsequently, they were forwarded to the members of the Centre Board for further evaluation. The Centre Board meeting took place on 4 April 2023, with active participation from Principal Investigators of the partial projects. They presented the fundamental aspects of the topic being addressed. The Centre Board evaluated the projects and categorised them into two groups. The first group comprised projects recommended by the Board for funding, while the second group consisted of projects that were returned to the Investigators for amendments.

A specific period was allocated for amending the partial projects that had been returned. Subsequently, the amended projects were submitted to the Centre Board for consideration. Following a discussion, the Board deemed the amendments sufficient and recommended funding of the partial projects.

An overview of the approved partial projects is provided under the tab "Partial projects and results".
