Re UK: I've asked the research support staff at my host institution and after going down a rabbit hole they were able to give me an estimate of what my net salary would be. This will depend on the institution as well as on whether you want to opt out of pension contributions -- this makes a huge dif...

Big congrat to whom got MSCA fellowship in this phase! I was invited to this fellowship with UK host. But after acceptance letter, I still am not getting any response from the university. Are they busy with handling some issues regarding transferring EU funding to UKRI funding??? I have already sen...

Hi all, What is the current situation with the signing of the grant agreement with the UK host? What actions need to be taken? :roll: UKRI is meant to publish the new call and relevant guidelines on February 26th. I'm not entirely sure what needs to be done before then, but I have been told by my i...

There seems to have been a very high number of people applying given the budget. I do wonder if more funding will become available once the UK-hosted people (like me) will be kicked out of the list of projects - as they will be funded by the UK itself as in the last 3 years. Hi! I can feel the frus...

Indeed, good luck to all!
I'm actually not yet sure if I'll take it up if I win - I have another offer for a somewhat longer position which is better in other ways. But of course, winning it is a big plus anyway. Honestly, I just want to know the result (whichever way it goes) so I can move on!

Does anyone know how the minimum score for success is calculated for each panel? How is the number of successful cases for each panel determined? I think I read this somewhere (but can't find the page now). A budget is assigned to each panel which is proportional to the number of applicants for tha...

Yes. Notifictaions seemed to go out after midnight and continued throughout the day (in our case, Tuesday). I was checking last year's thread, and it seems like the first people were notified after midnight on Feb 13th, where the official deadline for results was Feb 14th. If I understand. So now I...
