We understand the anxiety around waiting for the results. Unfortunately we do not have any other information than they should be out by mid-February.
Sincerely,

That's what I got from the reply of UK NPC.

What I don't get is why the Swiss NCP gave such a precise info if he/she had no idea (he/she even specified the minute for yesterday)...This also casts doubt on what the other NCPs are saying. Plus that the UK NCP seems to be saying slightly different things to different people. expert_pastMC who did you call? NCP or comission?

I don't get why they don't just specify the date precisely. After this point, everybody is anyways checking the system every night at 12. So ....

In my view, there is something wrong otherwise saying a precise date wouldn't be that difficult. At the worst case, they could just say expect to see the results in the deadline but it seems they are not even sure about 12th Feb ....

my gut feeling is that they will release results after 5 today, once submissions for CoG have closed. Of course I have been wrong many times before :D

Yes I also think there is something wrong. I find it strange that the NCP themselves were misled about the date of release of results. If they had wanted to set a precedent they would have made that decision earlier and tell the NCPs accordingly: it’s not in their best interest to be in bad terms with the entities that guarantee the smooth running of the fellowships at the national level.

Well, one of you called the other emailed. They cannot admit on writing that they know when the results will be delivered as this info is probably given to them off-the record. So I can understand why the same source gave two conflicting answers.

Best.
