Guys do you know what is the net salary for a Marie Curie fellowship in Spain? The gross salary seams great but I am not sure about the deductions... There’s this page from the EU website that tells you the tax scales in each country: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/taxes/income-taxes-ab...

I have a strong feeling that we won't get the results this Friday. If they are still changing status of each applicant in every panel, it means they have still way to go before finishing up the ranking. Maybe that NCP was right after all, they might announce the results on the 2nd of February. Hope...

First they send the results to the top-scored proposals and then they go down. Happened 3 and 2 years ago. I think dangfsoc meant that if you re-submitted your application, could your score be lower in year 2 than year 1. This is interesting info though. Last year I got mine very early in the morni...

Is anyone here submitting for a 3rd time or more? If so, what scores did you get? It would be interesting to know if they ever go down or if they usually go up. They can go down. I am on my second application but I know of someone who got it on their third try and their score went from 90s to 70s t...

But there had been several maintenance sessions last year before announcement of the result. This time, it is not happening. Do you remember when they happened, relative to the result, and how many hours they were for? There was one last Thurs (possibly related to the close of the ITN call) and one...

It stands for grant agreement preparation I think. However I have it for last year's rejected proposal also so might just be a standard part of the system.

Hello, where do you find "all messages"? I t is my first time... I can only see "My Notification(s)". Thanks You have to click the 'FO' button beside your proposal. If you look at the blue box on the left hand side, it has a 'Communication Centre' button, and when you click in there you'll see a dr...

Unfortunately I had some experience about project that I thought were unstoppable and unbeatable and actually I did not get what I wanted. For getting it a good (even outstanding) supervisor is necessary but not sufficient. Innovative and good ideas are necessary but not sufficient. In the past I f...

Several people have great supervisors here or wrote their great proposal in a short period of time... But in a forum with many anxious researchers, I don't agree with bragging about such things... Let's just respect each other and try to go through this phase together instead of trying to show off....

Is it weird that I prefer to read about wrong assumptions over the links rather than hearing about the greatness of one's supervisor?? Hahaha, nope. PS. Also, my supervisor is SO much cooler than yours :lol: :lol: :lol: PPS. Sorry, this was too good to let it slide. Well I wrote my proposal in 10 m...
