2018 Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2018)

[MSCA2018ABC]

Shocked
I just got my result by phone from the host institution in UK.
IF ENG, scored 92.6; however sadly it was still not funded. Although its my first attempt, I was quite disappointed. I have very strong CV (20 IEEE journals in Telecom, with 2 JSAC), top supervisor at host, and very potential proposal. I spent about 7 months for this with very much of hopes.

At the very beginning I was very confident to get the fellowship, but not. Academic life is so uncertainty.
Good luck to everyone

Sorry, but I have a doubt about something that it has been mentioned before.

Somebody can explain to me which is a widening grant?

I’m not clear on it...but it’s something to do with countries that they want to boost I believe.

are you not in reserve list? such a high score and you are not funded?!

I'm very sorry. Try next year, you have a very strong proposal.

How can be possible that they called you on Saturday?

As for some of the other posters, this is my 3rd attempt.
The first time I got 90.2 (just 2 points below funding), after working on the application for less than 3 weeks. Last year, I worked on it for 2 months and was in my opinion a much better proposal. Still I got a lower score (84.0). This 3rd time is my best proposal so far (that's what I think, anyway), but I am not placing much faith in it.

What I mean to convey is that the reviewers' evaluations make no sense (to me at least) and that the whole process is a lottery. This is also the opinion of other applicants I spoke to. One just has to hope to be lucky this time around. Some of you will be (statistically)

I am not sure about the reserve list. They just told me my score and not funed. They told me that If ENG has many high scores this year.

Yikes! If 92.6 isn’t getting funded, that’s crazy! Well now I have no hope. I guess that’s good that folks in the UK are finally getting answers!

Another proof that CV is not crucial here. I think Excellence is the most important part and abstract as well. How many evaluators are checking our proposals?

[Raman]

sorry to hear about that. my rejection is on the way!

so, may I ask if you were in ranking? Could you share your first 3 digits of the id

Thanks
