Perhaps we can collectively share information about potential host institutes and funding agencies for SoE candidates. Thanks for setting this up!

For me the Seal of Excellence does not mean anything else than a "prize of consolation".
Is one more line in your CV. If you deem appropriate to include it do it, but for me it means "Oh, this guys was close enough, but his proposal was not funded anyways"..., is like mentioning in your CV that you are a second class or tier-2 researcher. I would avoid mentioning I apply all together.

If you think more than 38% of the proposals eventually got more than 85%, is it really a distinction?

in Universities scoring above some % is called distinction, irrespective of how many got that score. its same as this, i feel. But however, my point of saying "perception matters' is from the receiver end. i.e. those universities that consider the SOE as some sort of ballmark figure to consider postdoc positions. Also, there are some calls specially mention this SOE qualified people are welcome to apply. (if i remember well). So is it.
