If there is no association and people with a UK host won't be funded from the main list, they should be off the reserve list as well

Thanks trina for the clarification! I imagine they still needed to pay a participation fee covering the administrative work and the evaluation process to be able to apply... anyway, bigger budget would be a good news for all of us!

It seems to be the case, indeed. This is explained in the UKRI guidance for the UK-based applicants. https://www.ukri.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/HorizonEuropeGuaranteeGuidance14March22.pdf 15.What happens to my grant if the UK formally associates to Horizon Europe after the UKRI guarantee has be...

Congrats for you as well and many thanks for sharing the info from the NCP! Regarding the family allowance: in previous years you needed to be in an officially recognised partnership (or/and have a child) at the moment of submission to be eligible but I think the rules changed last year and the allo...

Thanks for sharing! I really don't think there are any 'bad' proposals on the back-up list... ERC is already super competitive.. Hey, all! Here is something that might be of interest to everyone. You certainly know by now that the ERC successful applicants based in UK were given the opportunity to m...

Thank you! MSCA is more prestigious and more interesting financially (mostly due to the family allowance) but I am already happy that there is some backup for my funding. It’s crazy how in MSCA every 0,1% counts..it’s like 100m race, the difference between participants is so ridiculous but it may de...

Thank you jw@cam! Yes, I've accepted the invitation but I hope that, if ever my project will be eventually funded by EC, I could still withdraw from FWO... However, not sure if it's gonna be possible. I asked the FWO what are the rules about that but I didn't get the answer yet. I cross my fingers t...

Hi FairEnough, I received the FWO invitation last week. The deadline to confirm the participation in the program after invitation was on April 7th. I got 94,2 in EF-LIF (the cutoff was 94,4) but for FWO is not really your score that counts but the relative ranking (your final ranking divided by the ...

You can try with your NCP but they don't seem to know anything more than we do... I even wonder if there is anyone in the whole EC who knows this stuff... I am starting to think they all act in a 'let' see what will happen" way without having a plan in advance. It would also explain the delay with t...

https://www.the-guild.eu/blog/uk-and-swiss-association-to-horizon-europe-myths-a.html I've found this article saying the budget will increase following UK association but I am still not sure if MSCA budget already included UK potential contribution or not.... This is all so unclear. I guess all we c...
