ENV-ST, got a 84 (just shy of the SoE...) with 3.8/4.3/5.0 So yeah getting a perfect Gantt chart is possible but clearly not enough :p Like others I have conflicting reviews, I think one or two reviewers really liked my project and one simply look for bogus excuses to reject it. Two examples: Streng...

Just woke up to the sound of the rejection email. How sweet. 3.4/4.3/5.0 ... Comments (strengths vs weaknesses) are somehow contradicting with one another ... Thats very discouraging as it feels like there was no consensus between the reviewers here. Already at host inst., so I am not sure if I will...

Does anybody know if the new Horizon program will increase the MSCA budget by any chance? 328M euros for a program aimed at covering ALL of Europe (and beyond!) and ALL fields imaginable, it feels a bit under-funded...

Another guy is complaining on Twitter about the leaks... https://twitter.com/MohammadMajdi7/stat ... 7239604229
I am thankful to have known as early as Saturday night, now I am at peace with it and back to work!

Will we be able to see the abstracts and names of the projects that got funded in our respective panels?
I am curious to see if someone's proposal on the modelling of cyclones physics under climate change got accepted. It feels like its an important topic, perhaps the competition was very fierce... :s

Congratulations, it is always reassuring to see that hard work pays off! This is my first try and got 84 (right below SOE... that hurts a bit more even). I cant wrap my head around trying again next year: i would need to find another host (I started there on a short postdoc already), another project...

That's cruel... I wish you to eventually get it :/ There seem to be many people retrying every year, how do you find the strength (and a patient host!) to do so? I am pretty sure it was a one-time try for me, this is simply to tough and the eligibility conditions are strict. Wow, trying to genially ...

83.8 below budget, ENV panel (climate modeling for the curious ones). This was a first try, and I wont try again: I am already at the host inst. and am not planing for a later postdoc. I am actually genuinely curious to read the critics, I hope they are making good points. congrats to the awardee, t...

I also hesitated but I just sent it in order to have Sunday to cope with the (eventual) bad news... I know it would ruin next week's productivity otherwise. Still not sure to email either Dreamer or DreamerGirl to know the result ... so stressed, but def gonna have my next beer ... That's help . And...
