Hi people, it amuses me how some of us here so easily trust what others say. I personally dont believe NCPd know the results. It doesn’t just make sense that the EC had the time to distribute the reaults all the way from brussels to turkey or to UK or Moldova or Poland, or wherever when they are having difficulty with their system or have not finished consolidating the reports yet. How real are those people claiming they have the result?Do we even know if they are telling the truth? Obviously some of us here are having fun making the others go nuts by saying they have results,etc. The only possible reason that is not hard to believe is that they havent finished corroborating reports just yet due to the volume of applications this year.

They have for sure. They asked me for id and she found it, and said i was very close to reserve list. And yes, they have no full details about projects and candidates as somone said here. What a lucky. Phew!

I believe some people might be just trolling here, of course. However, as I said earlier, the number of applications was not that much higher compared to last year (+741 applications) that it would cause huge delays, I think. If that truly is the reason, EC has some serious issues with their IT systems...

Remember that they have changed the platform.

So what? They have all year to test shit and prepare for the worst.
By the time I have prepared, submitted and waited for the results, i became a parent, finished my first postdoc, published one paper, prepared another one, submitted two other fellowship, changed country, got into med-school and successfully finished the first semester.

And they can't prepare a platform that send notification automatically?

Sorry, but i missing something.

I will try from now on, when someone ask for something, to do the same: write every day a message on twitter saying that i will do what requested by the end of the current week some day between midnight of some random day and never.

Feck off!

Nothing really new, but this is a reply I just received from my host institution:

"the outcomes (both positive and negative ones) will be published on the participant portal as soon as you receive an email notification.
The National contact point told us they have been delayed for technical problems, but tomorrow should be the deadline for sending out communications set by the European Commission."

Hi megasphaera, you are indeed mega! I can only think of wonder woman with all the things you achieved in such a short period of time. Anyway, let us just be more patient. We don’t really know what the reason is.

Gosh... they wrote "tomorrow should be the deadline"... NO NO tomorrow IS the FINAL deadline. There is no doubt there. If there is a doubt there, I am worried that even tomorrow they could not be ready to release results...

Of course there could be other reasons why the delay. For example, Theresa May’s visit in Brussels. Four days ago she was in brussels. This might have paralyzed the operation at the EC headquarters.
