2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

Any updates on 2019 results? It should come soon right?

[IreneGF]

Despite what a few people think, if it does not change to ranked on monday or tuesday, this probably means rejection due to being below 70% score. just expect nothing and maybe we are wrong and you get it.

Results will probably come to NCPs next week. But are you all sure that Brexit will not affect them?

what do you mean with affecting them? delay for a few days?

There won’t be any delay. The only question is whether they will be released sooner, i.e. by the end of this week.

I just found this article. It says that UK will continue to contribute to EU budget during the transition period. So, hopefully, people applying to UK in the current call might not be affected by Brexit. Lets hope for the best

They won’t be affected, but I am not sure that there won’t be any bias from the evaluators’ side... I also think that the UK applications might have dropped. It is only natural that people would feel insecure to apply with a UK host. For instance I approached a top UK uni a year back, and they told me that they wouldn’t support any global fellowships. Only the standard ones. This was obviously due to brexit implications. This says a lot imo

Not supporting Global fellowships seems more not having to deal with visa matters in the UK. non-EU people have to pass lots of checks and Universities just don't want to spend money on those things. In that perspective: if I were a nonEU citizen applying to a UK host for a Global Fellowship, only when I win it to know that I have to pay hefty visa fees myself, I would be pissed off.

Not supporting GF is certainly related to the incertitude concerning the relation between UK and EU after the transition period. They had no idea of the situation for the next 2/3 years. In the event of a no-deal brexit (which was probable till the end of 2019), UK did not want to pay GF fellows to spend 2 years in another country, they will prefer to spend money for someone in the country.
This is not related to visa issue as for GF the fellow needs to be in Europe already (even if he/she is not a EU citizen, but most of them are European)... An IF fellow can be from any nationality.

I agree. My feeling was exactly the same, and although they asked me to consider the standard fellowship at that time (apart from the fact that the project had a global component...) I was “scared off” to stick with a UK host.
