Only related to "Reserve list" Q&A 2022

[PROSCO]

I think it is just a matter of math and statistics. You have waaaay less candidates in GF panels, then very few winners, and I don't think it is likely that any one of those will drop. So maybe if you are lucky 1 person from each GF panel will be called from the reserve list, 2 at the most. While I'm guessing 20-30 for EF panels. But ofc who knows. It will certainly depend on UK candidates and we don't have accurate info on how many they are or how they are distributed among the panels.
Soooo, if no one has any other information we will have to keep on waiting...

What do you mean with little to none reserve seats for GF? That very few people are called from the reserve list? Because I have this impression while hearing other people's experience in past years...

Can anybody explain me, what we are waiting for, that will be on 17th may. I have no idea, how UK list related to other European candidates. what UKRI can do that will help others?
kindly enlightened me and all those who are far from understanding this ?

Hello. I'm also not familiar with the overall process (as this is my first time applying for the MSCA-PF), but here's the information I know at the moment. As I am aware of, the GAP deadline is until 17th May. So, EC would have an exact number of seats remaining for the reserve. Not sure of the exact date, but from 17th of May EC would be able to notify the lucky reserves with a good news. As of now, there are 949 selected projects which means that there are quite a lot of empty seats for the reserves. In terms of UK, the UK-Horizon Europe association agreement is on a halt. If it stays that way until 17th of May, selected projects with the UK host would not be eligible for receiving the MSCA-PF Fellowship. (They will be funded by UKRI). I am not sure if the number 949 includes those who chose UK host, but I went through the funded project lists and I was not able to find any...

So for now, on 17th May only European host candidates (reserve list) will be called not with UK host. For UK host (reserve list) they must wait till the UK-EU do anything ?

This is right, except for a tiny part. There is no thing such as "exact number of seats remaining for the reserve". The process of calling reserve candidates goes hand in hand with the budget available. It sounds like the same thing, but it is not, and it is actually better for us. UK has the highest country correction coefficient (1.36), meaning the highest budgets. Spain for example has a CCC of 0.91. Meaning with 2 UK projects you can get the budget for 3 spanish ones. So, let's wait a couple more weeks. I'm guessing more than 300 candidates from the reserve list will get the funding.
Please, as soon as anyone recieves an email (rejection or GAP) share the news!

We are almost done with this painful waiting !

I'm sorry but I have no useful information regarding your concern . I saw some posts from this website asking whether the reserves with the UK host would be selected and then funded by UKRI guarantee program. But I was not able to find definitive answers.

If EC selects the reserve lists with UK host, then those who are selected would be benefited by the UKRI and that would create additional empty seats. I am not sure if EC would go with such process considering that it would create somewhat an iterative process until the empty seats are fully distributed to the European host candidates.

From last year's experience, candidates in the reserve list with a UK host received a rejection letter as soon as the deadline for GA signature expired. It was in late June last year and people started being called from the reserve list in early July. Keep in mind that everything was late last year, so we should definitely expect for things to start moving in the next few weeks.
