Talk Academia

I'm quite sure that the majority opinion here (that number of publications is not important, at least not officially) is absolutely and completely wrong. In fact, I would go so far as to call that a very silly point of view to have in academia. In the guide for writing, it was clearly stated that yo...

@SimpaLif: KAUST?

@Kitten:
Why would you be doomed by Brexit? If you are looking to move out of the UK, it does not affect you.
Citizenship plays a negligible role in MSCA IF (other than RI)

Best comment ever! Also a true snapshot of this forum for the next days! :D Shapovalov, you have a great sense of humor!!! :D My status is also single by the way :lol: It's a good thing my wife doesn't read this forum. This forum needs a Like/Rep feature. And multi-quoting. @CountZ!

Thanks for the data, Dreamer and SimpaLif.

That's not true. I know lots of people that got it the first time. It is also true that their bosses wrote the application for them after knowing the magical formula (and also having a very competitive project).

The supervisor's write the grant application? That's just terrible.

Yes, definitely. All this discussion is only after the fact, while we wait for the near inevitable rejection*. I am trying to move from one of the "top" EU countries in terms of research output to a Widening one, because I like the Professor and the group. He could give me a modicum of hope for an a...
