The same thing happened to me last year as well. No weakness but a lower evaluation than 5/5. As someone else said in the forum: Without any comment on my weaknesses how can I improve my paragraph?

In my opinion, yes. I'd wouldn't agree to take someone's points off without justification, if I was the chair.

The same thing happened to me last year. The NCP told me that is quite common. Even if the reviwers don't spot any particular weakness, they might give you a lower evalutation than 5/5. I agree with you that it seems unfair and it does not help you to prepare a better proposal if you want to apply next year.

Reading all the previous comments in this forum, I doubt the reviewer's opinions mattered at all. But its unfair to lower someone's score without any reasons at all.

Hi All,

I just checked with the "no style" function and saw on top left some options like
Help
Getting Started
Grant Preparation
GA Termination
Project Monitoring
Amendments

etc... Does it mean anything?
I haven't been notified so I assume I didn't get it... but I'm a bit confused. Otherwise it only says Ranking and going to be informed tomorrow.

Another applicant here, Reintegration panel, still waiting for any results to trickle in...
I love the humor of replies to the MSCA twitter announcements though
Hang in there guys!

I hope the e-mails are not sent due to surnames alphabetical order. Mine is V, so I will probably have to wait until Friday, lol.

hahahahahaha ! Mine is "Z", so probably next year

On the EC website it now also says "Letters on the results of the evaluation are being sent to applicants. Due to the call size, this process can take up to one week."

I guess, with a name in Cyrillic I have to wait until Horizon 2030?

Congrats, lastchance!
Happy for you.

Hello again... I still can’t believe it, but I got it! I received an email this morning saying something about a grant agreement, then I went on the portal and I found the offer letter and the evaluation. My score is 96.80, SOC (it was a resubmission. I had made some small amendments according to the comments. I had 84 and something last year)... for future references, I was already in ranking at around 4/4.30 CET last Wednesday. I had some hope for this, but I was scared even to thonk about it. I am over the moon... and I am not sure if I am dreaming. It was really my last chance for staying into academia... For those who have not got it this year, keep trying! If you believe in your project something can happen to make it real!

Thank you! I am superhappy!! (And I still can’t believe it!)

Same... having a surname starting with Z is a pain!
