EC NOTIFICATION ALERT

Guys! I just realized that for the past three calls, they announced the results on a Tuesday!

Have a good evening/night

I thought it was Feb 8th last year, which was a Monday... Am I wrong?

Oupss
You are right.
People who got e-mails on 9th were rejected...
Successful ones got it on 8th

You should have said that I was wrong and let me hope that the results would come tonight or tomorrow...

NOOOO I can't

I have this feeling about the 10... completely unverifiable, really just a hunch.

Don't worry, if you have no additional placement there's no need for commitment letters

THANK YOU!

No problem... I think it's written somewhere, but my impression is that they actively try to confuse the applicants as much as possible with their freaking template

You applied for standard European postdoctoral fellowship right?

Yes, standard European. Indeed, I found the template very confusing at first which made me very reluctant to start working on it for a long time

Hey guys... Just wanted to tell you that BBRF postdoc fellowship deadline is fast approaching. 22 March. Do apply if you are in mental health sciences

[Taha2021]

Thank you for your replies..I just wanted to find an excuse to justify I am in Evaluation..I worked so hard on this proposal (we all have, i know)...and I am in Evaluation as the previous year..

I have tried so many times..55..56..75..66..and now Evaluation again...I was hoping at least to be over 70..Maybe it is time to accept It. Thank you for the group therapy!

But there is still hope... Some users said that previous years people got the grant even when they had evaluation as status... We just need to wait the results

I would love to get the grant, but if not, the Seal of Excellence would be nice (specially with all the new related opportunities)
Good luck everybody!

What are the new related opportunities? I have the seal of excellence from last year and I didn't find any use for it besides adding it to the CV...
Thanks!

Edit:
It depends on the country. I know that Sweden, Germany and other countries (link below) have internal calls for people that applied to go there and got the Seal of Excellence (they do not fund a lot of people but anyway you have an extra chance of getting a grant). Also, depends on the University, for example, I know that in Italy the University of Venice (Ca' Foscari), University of Padova and University of Siena have calls for people with the seal. Several other universities are doing the same... I think it worths to try in case you get it

Those who requested for additional placement, were you able to get any letter of support from your placement organization? I also requested for six months placement but wasn't able to get letter of support! Well, I do not expect to get less than 5 for the section I'm already in ranking

I am so sorry (honestly) but if you are not able to get the support letter for the non-academic placement, how is it possible you are in ranking like you are eligible? Because last year, some people had problems for the eligibility (CAR panel) and i remember very well they all stayed in evaluation until the end.. Maybe they still consider the proposal but without the placement (like normal 24 months)? Thats super interesting.. Or ranking meaning is completely changed this year.

PS: From the MSCA rules ' For GF proposals, and for all proposals requesting a non-academic placement, the absence of a letter of commitment will render the proposal inadmissible and the proposal will not be evaluated.
