There was a long discussion on what it means and it is in the previous thread. I used the link in 2017 once and I decided not to do it anymore. It is a little bit like peeking through a keyhole and what you see can be very much misleading and not correct causing further stress... I feel also like a coward not using it but looking at what you obtain using it

me too... in fact, just going to do my defence in 3 weeks.

Writing the proposal and thesis at the same time was crazy, so I just hope that I will get useful feedback for next year

there are three possibilities:

1. people that remain in evaluation and go into ranking late are winners.
2. people that remain in evaluation and don’t go into ranking are in the <70% threshold.
3. evaluation and ranking depend on ID and panel, and do not predict anything.

pick your favorite explanation that will help you sleep tonight

I went into ranking quite early on (831xxx), so I hope option one isn't true... But it probably is, first time applying and straight out of a PhD! I'm mostly curious about my score!

That must have been a crazy time... I had defended it before, I needed to do so before summer in order to qualify for a different grant. Good luck with your defence!

I think people who get this fellowship straight from phd without ever had worked on a research consortium are pretty impressive folks. I know that the experience I got working on two EU consortiums (one before I got phd and one after) was really helpful for the MCSA application. The insights into deliverables, dissemination, impact, and all that jazz, was really helpful.

EF-ST still evaluation.

Actually people that just got their PhD or they got it 1-5 years ago are more likely to get it (in terms of success rate). This fellowship is meant (at least theorically) for training. I think this is the reason.

True to some degree yea. I got mine in Feb 2017. However, I was referring to the understanding of how to write a proposal and how funded research works in practice. Can be very helpful for writing grants.

Last year i stayed in EVALUATION until the end and I could not pass the threshold.

[megasphaera]

That's for sure. I remember the kind of proposal i wrote in the final months of my PhD. Nothing to do with several rejections and several grant writing workshops
