there probably wont be any more updates (atleast not visible for us). the next step is putting out the results and this might happen every day from now on. probably this is just a maintenance and we should expect results not much earlier than 11 feb though.

If there is maintenance on Monday morning, I find it quite unlikely that they release any results on Monday. It will be Tuesday onwards, then. Just some more speculation for the sake of it, haha

Just to add some more noise :twiuusted: . Evaluators will meet Monday and Tuesday in Brussels. Don't know though if they'll evaluate our MSCA projects or others.
I really expect the results to come on Feb 11.

It could be that they review the ethics docs that they requested and were provided last week. It could also be that they review the proposals that scored the same, in order to conclude which ones will be main listed, which ones reserved and which ones below the cut-off. In that case I think that the results will be out either end of the week, or most likely on next Monday-Tuesday. Again, this is all speculation. The only thing that we know for sure is that we will receive our results in 10 days at latest.

Remain in Evaluation is a bad sign, but Ranking is almost the same. We have some chances, but majority of us will be rejected or on the reserve list at the end.

Not just the majority... the vast majority. In ranking you still compete with almost 90% of the applicants. Vast majority of applicants are above threshold.

I think around 60% of us will have ranking. If the panel has 1000 applicants around 600 will be in the game after ranking but only around 130 will win.

I really think that the ranked proposals are more than 80% of the submitted according to statistics... no way that 40% of proposals are below threshold.

everybody should just expect nothing, or rejection.
realistically:
not ranking = you are rejected <70% (maybe 20% of all applicants at max)
ranking = you are above 70% and compete with around 60-90% of all applicants, i.e. you have a chance to get it of maybe 15-30%.

so just relax. i expect nothing, despite thinking my proposal is amazing. in 2-10 days everybody will know

Same with kids, we all think that our proposals are amazing haha!! good luck everybody

The current status does not tell you anything, besides that there is work going on behind the scenes. In last year's thread, there were a few people who were on Evaluation until the end, and got the grant. What we are doing here is pure speculation!

Try not to drive yourself crazy. Within the next 1,5 weeks, we will find out either way.

Hi everyone,
Do you have any idea about how the report/review process works once the fellowship has ended? For example, how strict are they in demanding that you published your results in the high-ranking journals that you promised during the application?

hahaha
Have you been too optimistic?
I think that as long as you publish they do not really care of it
Maybe I ma wrong, but there are not many fellows here able to answer the question

I would be most afraid of just not getting to the cutoff point. My proposal is really improved so should score higher but there are so many good proposals I wonder if I will get the grant.

What was your previous score?

I got 88.20% while the cutoff point was 92,6 I think (ST-SOC panel)

I agree with you that last year there were a few people who were on evaluation until the end and they got the fellowship.All is speculation going on right now
