Hi there, a friend of mine is an MC evaluator and I would like to share with you what he explained to me about the evaluation process. Three evaluators per proposal plus a chair that supervises the process. Each evaluator may evaluate a few proposals (10-15). Each evaluator produces a report indivi...

I hope you are wrong :lol: Last year I got 89! We will see in 2 weeks :roll: because, as you said it yourself, it depends on the evaluators. they don't know what the previous guys said or what score they gave, but the know it is a resubmission. everybody tends to grade resubmissions lower, because ...

How do they calculate final percentages? After first attempt I got:

Excellence 3.8
Impact 4.8
Implementation 4.7

A bit more in excellence and you would have got it.
What kind of comments you got in excellence, if I may ask?

I have a question for all of you which is independent from the msca. In general, as I said earlier, there is no consensus on that, and usually PI has mixed opinion. What do you think is better in your opinion: A) lots of paper (first author and non) B) one first author publication (impact factor ab...
