**Call for Reviewers: Join the CAKE Review Committee! **

The Computational Abilities Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) project aims to facilitate knowledge exchange (KE) and sustainable collaboration across the full range of UK Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) communities.

We are currently seeking reviewers to join the CAKE Review Committee.

How does it work?

As a reviewer, you’ll be added to our CAKE Review Committee Pool. This means:

  • You’ll be considered for reviewing assignments when funding calls open.
  • Assignments will be offered based on your preferences, expertise, workload, and alignment with applications.
  • We aim to ensure reviewer workload is distributed fairly across the committee and will monitor how many assignments each reviewer receives throughout the year.
  • If you accept an assignment, we ask that you provide fair, respectful, and constructive feedback.

For full details, please refer to the [CAKE Review Committee Terms of Reference][TODO].
