If it is indeed related to Brexit: could they not just prepare a few possible scenarios (No Deal Brexit; various Deal Brexits; no Brexit) and inform those who are ultimately rejected/accepted in all possible scenarios and leave the others in a "limbo" similar to being on a reserve list? Kinda like s...

It will be tomorrow at some point for sure, it just depends tomorrow of which day it will be. ;) Anyway, for me it is also fine if it is on Tuesday, it would be nice to know the exact day to calm us all down a bit, but not a big deal. So that was my prediction for today. And today I say I've the fee...

But it doesn't make any sense to claim with certainty that "evaluation" means the proposal is below the threshold/rej...

I thnk you are right about the budget, but wrong about the number of applications. Last year there were 9089 (7145 standard fellowships), this year there were 9830 (7565 ST). So the increase in budget is on par relative to the previous year when compared to the number of applications (slightly large...
