3. National Funding Agencies
I have extensive experience of the peer review process for grant applications and reports for funding bodies in the UK and abroad, as applicant, as referee and as member of peer review committees. 
Now I am an EU assessor for the Framework 7 programme and a member of the Norwegian research Council Panel: Ecology, Evolution and Behavioural Ecology
