It should be not. I think they are actually guided during the process to respect all the evaluation parameters in the form. Also reading previous posts in the discussion, the scientific project should not be a priority during evaluation.sherpaz wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 12:06 pmLooks like it is more difficult correcting than writing the proposalSOC-2018 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 08, 2019 2:52 pmIt will keep your mind busy while waiting for the results!

I have been to lots of seminars for the MSCA IF and the first thing they always say is that science it is not the main thing. This is intended to be a training fellowship in the broader sense (not only science, but also dissemination, etc.). If you submit a proposal thinking that you publication record and your project is amazing, you are going to fail (i have seen myself people with only one first author paper getting the fellowship). You need to show that you can think of something innovative in the science and outreach aspect, that you are going to learn lots of stuff and transfer your previous knowledge to the host.
After this long thought evaluators are still humans and if they don't like your project or the way you wrote it, they will find ways to reject it, but the chair, vice chairs and so on, should be there to see that everything goes according to the rules established by the EU.
I am wondering when they will start to evaluate and rank the proposal, waiting for the results is being life consuming!
Good luck to everyone!
