Sorry, but I have a doubt about something that it has been mentioned before.

Somebody can explain to me which is a widening grant?

The increase of funding does not increase the amount of money per application. More or less in gf each fellowship costs 250 k. Less for SOC more for others. This year the average cost per fellowship should be slightly higher for the increasing of the living allowance. But overall for the gf still th...

I am not good at number but definitely a success rate of 17-18% for gf is a pessimistic calculation. There was an increase of 33% of the budget and 0% increase of applications... and lst year success rate was 16-17 It depends on the panel, I guess. Did some quick calculations based on last year's pe...

Smsorry about that!!! so NCPs said last wednesday "results will be released from thursday 0.01" because they received results themselves from th EC. At least we are good at inference. :geek: Rejected 76.2. Env if. 844***. :evil: :evil: :evil: Answer received from EU funding office at my host univers...

Yes, incuding two years more in other positions before phd period. I know what you think. I am old even for mc. But not many funding opportunitirs in my country and I am trying all things available. And I am at the my very lst attempts. 12 years including phd? Yes and after 12 years in academia I am...

At that level it is sufficient a comment like: you did not mention the frequency of updating the project website... as it happened to me. Or yiu did not mention ipr... very stupid things. When you get a high score comments are very marginal and sometimes useless because your project is very solid an...

Yes and after 12 years in academia I am getting older for the job market... There seems to be a lot of "if I don't get this fellowship I am leaving academia" stuff about. I understand that, and I am in the same boat. Actually even if I do get the fellowship I may refuse it and leave academia very so...

Well. I were you I would resubmit it with a very light revision. Not so much work and statistically more chance to get it. Take my words as they are (experience of someone that tried in the past and tries to guess how things go): normally for the GF is very unlikely to get it from the reserve list. ...

Take my words as they are (experience of someone that tried in the past and tries to guess how things go): normally for the GF is very unlikely to get it from the reserve list. Normally in GF reserve list is very small. Last year 34 projects were in reserve list for the 8 panels (so on average 4 per...

Hello! Well, even if you have not (so far) got it, it is a great accomplishment and maybe you can have access to the widening fellowship, I guess. Can I ask you your panel? SOC, LIF... and your score if you have it? I am new here. Indeed, results are everywhere except poor applicants. Ah lord. I am ...
