Did anyone from Brazil here get it? it was my second attempt (in the first I got 93.5%) and now 95%.
I was hopeless because the project was not properly reviewed, but it was approved.
I'm going to Spain on a sustainability project (chemical/food engineering).

Didn't make the cut this time unfortunately, 89.4% EF-LIF. Congrats to everyone who made it!

Does anybody know how/when we would get the Seal of Excellence certificate?

Does anyone know the cut off for the GF LIF?

Hi everyone and congratulations to the winners! Is there anyone who made a complaint about an evaluation in past years and can give me some information? Thank you!

My project ID: 101066xxx

Read the weakness of my proposal and it is rejected.

Weaknesses:
- The measures to enhance the researcher's career prospects are likely to have limited impact as regards professional maturity and
independence, beyond already acquired status (Associate Professor stage).

Is this the only weakness listed?
What is your score and panel?

I got 92.2 and rejected in GF ENV.

Ok the score is very high...but I cannot totally understand the evaluation.
e.g. implementation: lots of strength point and the last one states: "The host institutions will provide access to high-quality infrastructure and facilities and fieldwork opportunities".
Only one Weakness which is "the description of the hosting arrangements with regard to integration in the team/institution and support services available to the researcher is limited"...which is a bit controversial compared to the previous comment.
And this cost me 0.2/5 points. Which might have helped...

This just to say: it's totally a lottery here. I'm happy for the score for sure...but when you are above certain score it is only a matter of luck. At least this i what I thihk.
I won't apply again next year. I'm not even sure where and how I could make it better...of course every project can be better but the comments are not really helpul. They are so general and not very important....

Dear Madam/Sir,

The Evaluation Result Letter is available on the proposal page of the Funding & Tenders Portal.
Log on to the Funding & Tenders Portal >

I'm so sorry UKR. have you seen the report? I hope they provide you with helpful feedback at least.. I send you a big hug

Mein is 4.3/5/3.5, 87 rejected SOC
Ranking on 2nd morning

Ps: quite happy with the score (from my personal side) although the rejection is a bit disappointing. Major criticism comes from the implantation part. Written and polished in 2-3 weeks, almost on my own. First and last try.
