Is there anyone here who remembers how the announcement was made in the previous years? I remember that a couple of year ago they first sent the communication to those who received the grant, so people got to know they were rejected not by the rejection email but by seeing the winners celebrating in...

Guys, I don't want to be a spoiler but don't expect much logic from this evaluation. In my first application I wan't too good but I got a seal of excellence (86,5). I though with an improved project, better hosts and lots of help from my supervisor if not better I would score at least the same. Wel...

I see that in the EF only 6334 proposals were submitted, but is there a way to know how many proposals were submitted to each panel? To day I re-read my whole proposal and I found 3 errors (e.g., I forgot one verb, a parenthesis, etc.), do you think that this could be a major issue? I've read succe...

Thanks for the support, my disappointment is not about not getting the grant but about the impunity of the evaluators in making such comments. As you said, it is even tragicomic to get 4.6 from excellence one year and to get 3.4 the next without a change other than addressing the gender part better...

Thanks for the support, I am actually not angry at not getting the grant, because as I began to see people with 94.4 on the reserve list, I accepted the fact that I did not get it, what is bothering me is the comments, and how unprofessional they were. Yes , you might not like the idea, and try to ...

I am curious to hear about your experiences in moving to another country while having a partner and a kid/kids. Did the family stay in your home country in meanwhile? Or did they follow along? What about the situation for them? I moved from Italy to Spain then Germany with my husband and (then) 6 m...

That's odd that you've got a lower score the second time. Theoretically, if you stated that you are resubmitting, if you get a lower score than the previous year the evaluators have to to justify this and say why it was worse than the previous application. This prompted me to check my scores: - 1st...

First time I spent two weeks and no support then got 74. Second time I spent 5 months and got full supports of several people and still got 84.4. Third time (Now) I spent around 5 months and 5 people reviewed and provided comments. It was revised several times. I was told not funded. I hope that's ...

Thank you Justt! That's very useful. And do you know what exactly "relevant to the call content" means? I should indicate, for instance, my supervisor's publications/achievements in my field, or something more broadly connected to Horizon Europe? I am asking because I may not have enough detailed i...
