Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

A while ago, I found some MSCA IF statistics (official document) and there they stated that resubmissions have a higher success rate on average than first submissions. Heard this as well from a reviewer. Regarding inexperience of reviewers: anyone can become a reviewer. So many do it, without adequ...

Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

Guys, what I could not STAND with this application is the 10-page limit. Cutting here, adding there, just a word or two changing the whole equilibrium it was insane! :shock: While it is annoying at first, the limit helps you in formulating your research concisely. I know people who, if you would le...

Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

How long did it take you to write up the whole thing? For me it was almost a full two months. Also, did your host institution and potential supervisor help you out drafting/reviewing your proposal, and how much? For instance. this is my second attempt with a basically new proposal and host-institut...

Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

I think you are all a bunch of terrorizers.It is okay that you use this side link that shows your proposal’s status. What is not okay is to extract conclusions for other peoples proposals. For example, How do you know when someone is still in EVALUATION it has lost the game? It might be that it is ...

Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

Hello Against better judgement, I went to look for my link. I see that I am ranking but the rest seems not so good: finished:false --> when you don't get funded, your application does not go to the end (funding, sign contract and all those stage) the other ones are; canAddMessage":true,"canAccessPro...

Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

Hi there, a friend of mine is an MC evaluator and I would like to share with you what he explained to me about the evaluation process. Three evaluators per proposal plus a chair that supervises the process. Each evaluator may evaluate a few proposals (10-15). Each evaluator produces a report indivi...

Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

Why would a PI look for another candidate with the same topic? The place where I applied let me choose my own topic. If I would have to adhere to the PI's chosen topic, than that defeats the purpose of an MSCA IF grant. The purpose is personal development, not just another temporary research position.

Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

Well actually, I lokked at my proposal the day of the deadline. I submitted the day before in the evening with everything looking pretty good I though. At 3pm (UK time) on Wednesday, I decided to treat myself to a Tim Hortons so I headed over there. I took my computer to look over some documents and...

Re: 2019 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2019)

Just surfing to euraxess to look for academic jobs and that site is off the air as well. I think we will not get any result today with that kind of technical outages. I have not tried to check my personal page yet. I will do that later. Just logged in to the portal. Status says final . When I click ...
