Talk Academia

I have heard that if you add GAPXXXXXX to the follow up link at the end, click 3 times refresh, punch the nearest guy in the balls, scream the atomic weight of beryllium, Marie Curie itself will appear and tell you the results. Try it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lo...

This is a totally understandable feeling. For me, it is the academic cultures in my country (predatory publishing, self-plagiarism, etc.) that made me want to move away from this country to Europe (although I used to be like you, wanting to move away from academia!). MSCA seems to be such an import...

Who's in for a bet on when they'll release the results? :P Last week I would have bet anything on Monday (today), but now I'm very confused and thinking anything could happen... New theory: they are trying to get rid of applicants by killing us slowly with stress? So only the most resilient remain ...

😂 oh Horizon, I think I love you 😂 :lol: :lol: What I hate is that people think they can just come and start pontificating as if we didn't think of all of this. For example this someone who is French and lives in France, there is a clear lack of empathy for others for example South east Asia, Afric...

Guys, I know the wait is very difficult to deal with but we have no other options. If 10,000 people send emails to the teams, all we're doing is slowing them down. Also, remember this is a new program (Horizon Europe), so they might have some things to work out. We're the guinea pigs, it's the first...

Hi everyone!! I've been following silently this year (mostly cause there's not much to say as we wait) ;) I'm still in ranking too... I think that's not good news, if some of you are already in "Information" phase. Of course, this is just speculation, but my theory is that they go from the top of th...

Hi all, I can see that the document was uploaded in the Grant Management Services page in the Participant Portal, however, I haven't managed to download it as I keep getting an error message saying that the servers are overloaded. I also didn't receive any email or anything - just saw they posted so...

Hi Guys, I see a lot of you being absolutely disheartened and sad upon the receipt of Marie Curie results and are talking of leaving academia, feeling demotivated and so on. I will share my story and maybe it will help. I had applied for the MCIF fellowships in 2017 when I was in my final year of P...

I got my rejection email this morning, too - it's good to be able to see the evaluation report, at last! Thanks again, Dreamer Girl, to have volunteered to give us our results, it was difficult to swallow but I'm happy I gave myself a few days before getting my official results. You were very kind, ...
