Synchronised Calls are intended to:

• enhance transparency and fair treatment by providing one comparable pan-European score for proposals at national/regional level based on joint international peer review.
• improve the effectiveness of national research systems by helping Member States to benchmark areas where their researchers perform best and to guide national research and innovation strategies focused on their strengths
• increase efficiency of research funding in Europe by highlighting topics in which different researchers are focusing on the same aspect of a research issue (in order to avoid duplication).
• increase visibility of high performing researchers in less research intensive countries by identifying them through the joint international peer review.
