To me, the only useful thing Is receiving the results, all the rest is unhealthy speculation.

Agree. But this is so much fun!

Agree but this Is also making a lot of people worried for nothing and this Is not nice , at least call the sheet "Fanta Marie Curie"

I think there Is a sheet like this Every year and Every year It proves to be unconclusive, this Is why perhaps the adm did not approve It.

I shared the link to the thread (not to the table).....and it has not been approved. The thread could be useful for many other reasons to MSCA applicants
At the moment the inconclusiveness of the sheet is strictly related to the poor number of records

I totally agree. This evaluation/ranking adds unnecessary stress for us. Waiting is already stressful enough =(. And to be honest, I myself have tried to study the ranking/evaluation sheet from last year, but it's inconclusive. Hopefully, the results will be out on the 14th. Can't focus on anything these days.

Could the results be released earlier than February 14th?

Out of curiosity, have any of you applied to go to the UK?

Yep, if I can get this fellowship!!

I am afraid I do not understand this call. I am still in EVALUATION in the CHE panel, and I find it hard to believe that the proposal did not surpass 70%. I guess it is still possible, but I reckon it is unlikely. Last year I had 90% in a worse project.

What is tricky about this year, at least in the CHE panel, is that looking at the spreadsheet of this year, only 3/12 applicants are in RANKING, which is in stark contrast with the ratio of last year, that at the end of the evaluation was 10/1, so inverted. This could indicate that not all the reviews are dumped into the system, that my self-assessment is wrong, or that our estimations of the meanings of the magic link are farther than we think/are modified in every call.

Hi Belin,

Same situation over here... This is my 3rd application to a MSCA PF (always different project/supervisor/university). Last 2 were scored around 80%. This last time I had a loooooot more support from the University and from my supervisor, so I am honestly expecting >80%, but still in EVLAUATION (CHE panel as well). I simply refuse to believe this proposal is below 70%, but who knows...

I hope the phase changes soon, and that the RANKING thing doesn't mean anything in the end.

Good luck to all

I am still in evaluation, SOC panel. I am sure that my proposal is above 70, because it has been checked by multiple experts and at least it has all the minimum elements that reviewers will check according to their grid and review instructions. If I have less than 70, I am going to file an appeal and go to a lawyer.

I do not expect to get funded, since the decision to give the funding is influenced also by an official EU agenda (thier program priorities) and it is not only about writing a good proposal, but I know that I deserve a high score and hopefully the Seal of Excellence. I followed multiple courses, I worked myself as a research support officer and I wrote part of funded proposals in different programs (for example the IP, RDM, Dissemination, Privacy sections that got very high scores in Horizon2020).

we can propose a new for the next year

[Rodolfo1988]

In my case I have "ranking" since January 29.
Before it was under evaluation and that day around 10 am, it has changed and has not changed again.
Last year I was in "evaluation" up to 1 week before the final lists... and well, I got 72%...
I'm in LIF.

I made this file. I think that if we participate in completing this file, it will be a great help for the rest of us and for us in the future.

Can we add a column with the first letter of the researcher's last name? Just to see if there is an alphabetical order...

I think would be better with the first letter of the Surname, not the name...
