Talking to a friend now, the really bad part of this is that it's certainly not easy to recycle this proposal to other calls, given the format is so specific and it doesn't share much similarities with other calls (to my knowledge). Any thoughts on this?? Curious to see your opinions/comments/suggestions

Hi!

There are some fellowships to do research in Japan (https://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/index.html). There are two calls every year. They are as competitive as MSCA (in general 9-11% of success) but the number of people applying is, in general, around 1200.
Even though it is also a lottery, the most important thing they value is the project, same as MSCA. However, the project in this Japanese fellowship is only 2 pages.
In this case, I think you can recycle the proposal. Actually, I did something similar. This is my first time applying for the MSCA (I didn't get it, below the threshold), but I got the Japanese fellowship this last December.

My point is that I attended lots of seminars, I had a lot of help from the host supervisor and institution and they gave me a lot of tips to write a good proposal for MSCA during the summer. I used the same style, same structure, a slight similar project but very different at the same time in the Japanese fellowship, which I submitted in late September, and I got it!! So...if you summarize it, you can recycle it for this fellowship.

Definitely staying awake until midnight CET.

Is it for sure this night (so in a few hours, Brussels time), I thought it will be the night from Monday to Tuesday?

The earlier, the better, I cannot wait to get my horrible comments.

Not sure, I just hope. As you said the earlier the better.

I hope with you.

I though the results will be sent from Monday to Tuesday, not today. Am I wrong?

I really hope it's tonight. It's sadistic of them to keep us waiting like this, given that the results are clearly ready...

Totally agree with you. It is exhausting.
