2021 Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (HE-MSCA-PF-2021)

[MSCA_SOC_2019]

No, now we need to torture them!!!

I agree… just sent an email to my UK NCP

So until now we got no answer from Greece and Spain? Let us know what UK say!

Maybe we should try to contact one from a small country? They may be less busy.
What about Malta?

Well if I may, sharing in advance even in a small group may possibly cause people to question justice, and that's partly why NCPs are not allowed to share even if they get results before us. But it is indeed suffering for applicants. My feeling is complicated, and I blame EC why they don't officially inform us sooner

I’ve reached out to a fellow evaluator from another call, suspecting that he might have been involved in this one. Long story short, he told me that EC underestimated the number of proposals and hence the number of recruited experts/allocation of time. It happens all the time. i am also a very bad reviewer, always late

I know you, I am a bad reviewer too, usually my line is to submit it right before the deadline LOL

It's understandable but interesting, the number of proposals this year was less than that of last year and the closing date was late than usual. I think I now understand why MSCA the twitter account said it was a huge call with a massive number of proposals, meaning that applicants should be patient... I was thinking if they ever remembered the situation in 2020 when I saw that

Didn't UK have the largest number of applicants? Like in thousands, isn't it?

Let’s hope they never match us on Consensus reports !

I think so. You are right, would be easy to find applicants with UK institutions on here

Well I am one. But my point is since the UK has thousands of applicants the NCP will be pissed and very annoyed

So this is the same NCP who said one of us didn't get it?
