Abstract
The authors propose an approach to the assessment of potential members of teams to be involved in implementation of the programs and projects in the area of environmental protection. The method involves prompt selection of information from several databases according to certain criteria, description of possible ways of problem solution, procedures design of new databases for purposes of decision making. This approach is based both on qualitative information obtained from official sources and on expert evaluation. Expert estimations allow to determine capabilities of research teams to solve particular tasks in the area of environmental protection, to hold competitive selection procedures aimed at identification of the most promising teams in this respect. The authors propose a set of procedures for evaluation purposes as well as principal characteristics which serve as criteria in course of the evaluation process.
