Hi guys, IF-ENV here, got 77.9 this year, got 90.1 last time for the exact same project. The reviewers' comments had been taken into consideration and the whole thing had been polished ... My rating has dropped drastically for the Excellence part; I have more comments in strengths, but also in weak...

I got my rejection letter,
Landing from last year 94 to this year 77!
Even though, we tackled a lot in the last year's comments of weaknesses! I cannot believe such a huge drop...
Cheers to all those accepted! and for sure I am done with such a poor evaluation strategy of MSCA!

Everybody's gone for a drink?
Good choice though...
Looking forward to seeing you celebrate, "possibly during the upcoming week"!!!

Mocking us?

Bro chill it must be from the previous year.

Strange though!

Mocking us?

May I ask a question, in row 41 now, there is an indication from an applicant with the seal of excellence!
Who has the seal of excellence? I mean now?

Guys,

I come back just to stop your speculations
Switzerland was not part of the MSCA 2021 call! It is why they have their own call... We discussed that before!

This is it! Otherwise, it is a mess without any provisional declaration...

But this Switzerland issue must be indicated inside the call, not after accepting the application and then deciding whether they want to grant this or not! Poor those applicants with Host in Switzerland!

I my humble opinion, in order to savage any sense of trustworh left, EC will not release the results before next week, once they've made that announcement yesterday.

Let me keep my sanity against the EC announcement schedules!

It shows that cut off is higher this year? Aww! I just wonder how you felt for the whole one year expecting a positive response. Not easy....! Not sure, but records say that by looking at each year published percentiles, the cut offs on each panel remain more or less the same! And for sure, differe...
