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

[triad_Mon]

Hello,

Just to contribute to the conversation. I also talked to my NCP yesterday, with whom I have a very good relationship for year and he is always more than friendly and helpful.

He said that he has no notification either. There is no fixed date, which means it could be any moment until the end of the month.

He also think (his personal estimate, without having any direct notification) that the delay does not come from the department who is responsible for issuing the MSCA grants, but from higher, which might justify why we have no news from them.

I don't feel the excitement of the results anymore. That's sad

Me neither. I'm jaded...

I am the same. They suck out all the joy from me. I am behind work, missed deadlines, anxiety in the roof... I just can't anymore. I will do a mental work to set the deadline for march 31, to try to cope and move on with my life... I just can't anymore...

My UK Professor said that too many people got the grant here so they have to figure out how much the UK needs to pay!

If UK pays its fellow then no. fellowship will increase???

The number of applicants to UK hosts are as follows:
EF: 1488 over 7519 (almost 20%)
GF: 79 over 837 (almost 10%)
And I remember reading somewhere that historically, UK has been among the top successful hosts.

Ugh. But this is probably the best strategy to adopt. I too am falling behind on work... which should be fine, because I have no contract, but you al know that it is not.

Same same same. If the EC can't respect a deadline, well then...

I believe there is something extra related to Russian institutions that they need to settle done.

Posting on their social media handles may be better

Good morning everyone. I think that all of us should make a complaint in EU portal. I am doing this now.

Where can you make a complaint? In the application portal, if I click on "Launch new interaction with the EU" there are "No options available".

I think we should really bother them until they make a formal announcement about the delay.

Exactly

I think tweeting to them would be a better strategy
