Does anyone know if the A, B, C grade is communicated before the evaluation report?
That's a great point! I wonder about it as well.

I'm in PE10 and someone who knows a person in a PE panel told me that the panel meetings are just over and they still didn't do the ranking yet. So it can be as late as the last week of March.

Whether rejection or invitation, I'm just so tired :D I just want to know and be over it.

Congrats to those who are already invited to the interviews!

I hope they act faster and they don't send the emails late March! My guess is the results will come out for us, next week.

I totally understand what you say! I'm ready for accepting rejection, of course after a few days of sadness and disappointment. But, I'm not ready for prolonged suspension.

At least, it's great that they send the rejection emails and invitations at the same time!

Hello guys. Congratulations for the ones that got invited. LS8 panel for me, still no news. I guess we will be the last ones to receive the email since the interviews are planned mid-june.

Generally speaking, not just for ERC, I think all funding schemes should be way more transparent - like showing the status of the proposal in the submission system and having fixed certain dates for the communication of results.

We give our time and our best ideas for a slight ''maybe'' to secure funding and I really find it annoying that the best we can get back is ''oh please keep stressing, we'll let you know randomly sometime in March'' :D

I wish I could hibernate and wake up to check the result :)

This morning I got an invitation for an interview. SH4 here. And a colleague of mine was rejected for the same SH4.

Fingers crossed for everybody who is still waiting!

A colleague of mine was invited (SH5).

I think next week LS and PE will be notified!

Good luck everyone

Congratulations to all who were invited!
I am still waiting for the PE panel. Hopefully, we will be informed next week, not at the end of this month.

I'm PE and still waiting, too. Maybe tomorrow is the day! Let's hope to get the results this Monday! Also, please write here as soon as you get the email. I'll do the same.
