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

[4degrees]

I think in the last scheme they weren't called postdoctoral fellowships (so PF-EF or PF-GF) they were actually called independent fellowships, so were IF.

I know we're all desperately wanting to have our results but can we not jump on each other for things like this please?

Spoke to my NCP. I was told that the release of results have been postponed for some reason. She still thinks it will be late March

This really seems so disrespectful to applicants who must make decisions. Already the results are delayed by more than one month!

But we had this info already!
Nothing new I mean...

It's allright. I mean, I waited until 3 am and I feel like I am on the verge of collapsing because of stress, but it is not NCP's fault.

What we can do however is blame the whole institution for not engaging enough resources to respect their deadline, even though there are almost 4000 less applicants than last year - so it should have been easier to do

Exactly!! I can't believe them

Guys, I think we should appreciate all pieces of knowledge or info that ppl (took the effort to) type in and share here, even it is only relevant or interesting to a certain group of population (e.g. non-EUs or EUs).
and, ofc everyone has the right to judge or question the credibility of the source, at least be polite.

If the results are being postponed, you would have thought that the EC knew about this before today or the weekend, so how difficult would it have been for them to change the inform date in the portal?

Just like last year, it's the poor communication from them that is getting on the nerves of everyone.

They just don't care. If you ask them anything they will respond with a standard copy-paste message that doesn't give you any information. It's the same every year.

As long as NCPs have the results since last week I do not know how they can justify such a delay....
But I prepare myself for it!

EXACTLY! You'd think that they'd have used one of those maintenance periods to update the damn date!
