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

HOWEVER, still wonder about those small communities that got the answers and some tiny parts of the results!
Does not make sense to me AT ALL!!

Another system maintenance happening 18:00-18:30 CET. Maybe it is a technical issue that is holding the release of the results.

I want to share this daily horoscope again. It is surprisingly accurate! Copied directly from msn homepage

"Deliveries that you may be expecting could be delayed or held up. Today you might learn something shocking about a neighbor or relative - and gossip might spread very rapidly through your community."

o gosh!!!

My horoscope:

"Prediction: There are signs of getting the desired things. You will be better on both the personal and the professional front. The business will be positive. You will live up to the expectations. Family members will be happy"


Holy sh**, fellows

Twist of the fate: my horoscope for tomorrow is horribly good, it hasn't been so good since my birth, I think. But since I am a scientist, I need not be superstitious. The only thing required of me is to stay in an eternal state of worriedness about the MSCA result announcement. LOL!

Hope for that!
But should not be our case, since it is regarding some other part of the portal maintenance...
we saw this till this far, and will see after also!

Well, at least we may beat the number of pages of last year's thread

Another post from Facebook:

"This is the response I got from GR NCP: The results were supposed to be announced this week but there has been last minute announcement that there will be another delay"

delay on the week of announcement or the day?

So it could be any day from tomorrow til the end of the month then?????

Who knows...

Besides all the speculations about Ukraine and other things, I think that the deadline of the ERC-cog submission (March 17th) could be a good explanation for this delay. Last year (2021 call) the Funding and Tender portal crashed big time during the last few days of the ERC-stg submission, and they were forced to extend the submission deadline by a few days. I guess the entire team is going to be focused on ensuring that the portal works properly in the last few days before the deadline, and uploading the msca evaluation report may be dangerous considering the number of people uploading and updating their proposals.

So if I had to bet on a possible announcement date, I'd say either we get the results tonight/tomorrow morning, or after the 17th.

Who's in for a bet on when they'll release the results?

Last week I would have bet anything on Monday (today), but now I'm very confused and thinking anything could happen...

New theory: they are trying to get rid of applicants by killing us slowly with stress? So only the most resilient remain and they will fund them?

This could be a movie - "The Hunger Games: Academia"

It has got to the point where I am seriously contemplating a move away from academia.
