If you fulfil eligibility criteria should not be a problem

Tnx mate. I had precisely 4 y of experience as PhD researcher by the time of my application but still I couldn't be sure...

I actually forgot the pass for the EU portal as I didn't checked it since 9th of Sep, after seeing you guys freaking out I started panicking as well.

Same situation here. When I attended a workshop from my host, the last call winners were 50% people without PhD at the moment and the other 50% people who ended up in the postdoc loop without tenure-track perspectives

In theory, your career moment should not affect, but that's in theory

Really? 50% were without Phd? Thats interesting. Lets be hopeful then

Dear friend from 8PM

Which time zone?

[Plastics_fan]

Very sorry for all those that already know that they did not get it.

I was ok today and trying to review a paper and work on some stuff, but know I just feel sick from the stress and being constantly scared when an email comes in. I should turn off my inbox for some hours.

What is happening at 8pm?? Tonight?
My bottle of wine is already open and half empty.

Same! I was ok until I've somehow started panicking, maybe I should get a bottle of wine too

Can I send you a bottle over? I bought two yesterday, just in case that I freak out.
Greetings from France.

I would love it! French wine is also famous for being very good
Greetings from Italy, let's stay positive (or drunk!)

what is your current phase?

When I disable browser style I see 'ranking phase' .

Thus I guess you passed at least the eligibility criteria (otherwise they would not have reviewed your proposal )

Wise decision Panic! Enjoy your birthday 🥳

Happy birthday NoPanic42!
I tried to go for stoic mode, told myself I won't check the forum and just wait for the email. Yet here I am, following and feeling the rush. Still not sure I want to bother Dreamer, who will surely have a too many people wanting to know. On the other hand, getting it over with before my second pfeizer covid vaccination on Monday would be good! I have a fear of needles, and it's enough to stress about only that

Thanks! It is tomorrow, that why I will wait. I am in a good mood and whatever it happens I will take it. Time to relax. Good results at work which keep me distracted

Good! That's the spirit! Enjoy

Just over 100 mins to 8PM let's see what happens assuming it's EU time zone not the UK one...

[MSCA_ENG20]

many lucky colleagues are there

Wait, have some people started to sent you PMs already? I was patiently waiting 8pm to send you mine.

Just know that I failed I was in ranking, I failed with 75! I have two successful proposal with 98.6 and100 marks and read more than 10 other proposals. Sometimes I read this forum and I cannot believe that this is a lottery. I spent more than 120 days and read every fucking page and info and see lots of video in youtube not for this call! An evaluator told me that you will get 95 or more if the reviewers like it! I was 100 percent sure that I will get it. My idea is very hot! and I used 3 figures , 11 tables، covered all the issues very professionally( believe me). I cannot believe that I don't even get the seal of excellence. Hope all the best for all of you. This is lottery do your best but don't count on this.

So sorry Jolly. I know how you feel. I assume most of us will have the same outcome as you as only the few lucky ones will go home with the grant

I am very sorry that our heroes Dreamer and PetetheCat and other didn't get the grant. I have been visiting this chat every once in a while and I have learned so much. A few years ago I won a GF-SOC, from my experience, as others have mentioned, resubmission is a no go. I won my grant in the third attempt. My first time I got 91,3, I resubmitted fixing the mistakes and got 87. Then changed a bit the topic, supervisor and host, and got 100%. This year I am applying to the RI panel. Fingers crossed for everyone.

[Tuhina]

I have been a silent lurker. Sorry about Dreamer and Peter. From the magic link now I see

Code: Select all

 "actions":{},"contacts":{}

which I believe was not there before. Anybody else sees this?

I have it too, but I have no idea if it was or not there before.

I have it from 4th

I mean, from a pool of 4 winners with my potential host as destination I don't know the exact % in the overall scheme, but I know that even people who are not in doctoral programs have won it
