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

Sorry if this was already asked, but which panel did you apply to?

But someone claimed to have the result from friday...trolling or a leak?

Most certainly a leak. Despite what they say, the NCP already have the results

Hi everyone, I should probably update this a bit, since I was the receiving end of the leak and I just found out some more. My host is in a small country and the NCP told them about the widening, now called ERA, results. But, I just asked and they don't know anything about the results of the main call yet. Somehow this seems to be under debate or indeliberations or something. It is only because I got a widening that I know about it. So, I guess that the list for the widening gets distributed to the NCPs first. Luckily for me because it has massively calmed me throughout this ordeal.

I think I wouldn't have said anything had I'd known that the results wouldn't come out yesterday. Feeling like I got everyone hyped for the massive disappointment that yesterday was.

Leak is a possible thing as there are number of NCPs. NCPs have the results. Because of UK they cant share for sure. So many candidates from UK might be at higher ranking and if UK does not pay then they might be excluded. In that case the ranking will be revised. It will take more days to be solved.

A reliable person who works closely with the NCP in my destination country confirmed to me yesterday that the NCP does not have the results. Apparently, leaks occur when certain NCPs have close contact with evaluators or panel leaders.

I think the same Yes, NCPs already have the stated "RESULTS." They may have received info from the EC regarding the raising or finalization of funds. The results may have been shared with the some candidate who received the highest score and falls within the budget of 240 million euros.

I was told that when they upload the results on the portal all NCPs get the results at the same time.

I just recieved the following from my NCP

Please be informed that we have had to delay the announcement of the results of the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships with a view to complete an additional screening on a number of proposals. Due to the technical challenge of sending over 8,400 individual letters simultaneously, the earliest we will be able to inform applicants of the results is next week.

Possible to be true.

This is so strange and makes me wonder if it really is about Russia. Why else would proposals unexpectedly require additional screening unless from Russian applicants? Not that I agree with such a practice.

Anyway, it is frustrating because it really seems they do not consider the big impact this has on people’s lives.

Hi all,
I've been a silent reader up to now and decided to un-mute as I got an update from my NCP, saying that they just received the following information:

Please be informed that we have had to delay the announcement of the results of the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships with a view to complete an additional screening on a number of proposals. Due to the technical challenge of sending over 8,400 individual letters simultaneously, the earliest we will be able to inform applicants of the results is next week.

Not extremely more clear than what we got on twitter, but still something more.

Haha they want us to have contingency plans if things go wrong, but apparently they don't have one themselves.
