Same here, hhh. EF-ENG, 93.2, 22th in RL. Thanks for the help from this platform and thanks for MSCA . Hope everyone goes well in the future study and life.

You are right. The last year (2023) call budget was 260M €, but the current call (2024) it has 417M € because of UK association and their contribution. Therefore, almost double the fund and as you said that cut-offs should be lower. Why there is such a huge difference? As of beginning of this year ...

With (I think) 36 UK projects in the main list of EF-SOC, I struggle to understand why the 19th position wouldn't be called... All this process is suspiciously not transparent anyway. I personally still keep hopes! You know, there's a character trait of people who deny themselves (when they actuall...

Hi, I hope everything goes well for you. I just feel weird that you still guess that you are 26th (removing out-of-UK applications) in RL when you have 94 scores with only a 0.6 difference from the cut-off score (94.6 in the SOC panel). If so, you have a very small chance since it is impossible to ...

Hello all. First time I am posting here though I have been following the discussions for a while. ! I got 94.2 in EF SOC and am the 19th on the reserve list. My host also told me I should not get frustrated if I will not succeed. I was not that much pessimistic until heard this. That's weird. I com...

No that's probably not how it works, they will want a roughly equal success rate across panels. There's several posts on this forum with sort of plausible scenarios on how the money could be distributed. But also the process is obscure and nobody has the exact numbers of previous years, so they may...

If they expect the same success rate for each panel, to make a rough calculation we would need to know how many UK proposals were submitted to each panel, including those that are not in the main and the reserve lists (though it would be nice to know the RL numbers too)...does anyone know that ? My...

I think they need to compensate the number of UK proposals dropping each panel. For instance, if 1% of the proposals in the main list of SOC corresponded to UK projects. The budget will go first to the panels having more drop outs and what is left would be proportionally distributed among panels…ri...
