Good luck everyone! I also submitted this time around - as GF-Soc - and look forward to supporting you all on this rollercoaster ride of MSCA. Our forum has a strong reputation for getting more than the average success rate, so glad to see you here and good luck!

P.S. Thanks msca2018 for creating this thread. I'll lock the old thread.

Hey guys,

been a silent reader for a few weeks while preparing for the submission, and wanted to thank people who, albeit indirectly, posted helpful information in the previous thread.

Also, I made the mistake of looking at the submitted version and saw that the CV pages got shambled a little, so just don't look at the documents after submitting .

Cheers and good luck to everyone who submitted this year!

Welcome to the community Trufflethor!
The first thing I did after reading your comment was check the document.
Good luck to you and see you around!

Hi everyone,

congrats to everyone who submitted!

Does anyone know if the expert evaluators see also part A? Just curious...

And I was wondering about the following little detail:
in the guide is says one must have "margins (top, bottom, left, right) of at least 15 mm (not including any footers
or headers)"
Am I the only one to whom it is not clear if the headers and footers may be with the 15mm margin (if I understand the sentence in the way that one must put 15mm margin to the text, but headers and footers are excluded from this rule), or if the margins may NOT contain any headers/footers??

I just posted this years submission stats higher up in this thread. Anyone know if they decide the budget allocation between panels before or after the stats are released?

[msca2018]

After reading this document, I think they have decided before. Here you can find a presentation with the budget allocation for MSCA-IF-2018 and MSCA-IF-2019:

All the best,

I just posted this years submission stats higher up in this thread. Anyone know if they decide the budget allocation between panels before or after the stats are released?

Thanks msca2018, really interesting document. The Spanish NCP did a good job with that one.
Anyway, it gives the following budget allocation:
•EF(ST/CAR/RI): 236,5 M€
•EF(SE): 8 M€
•GF: 50 M€ EUR

Am I the only one to whom it is not clear if the headers and footers may be with the 15mm margin (if I understand the sentence in the way that one must put 15mm margin to the text, but headers and footers are excluded from this rule), or if the margins may NOT contain any headers/footers??

I agree the template information is ambiguous. I'd just set your word processor margins to 15mm all around and let it deal with the headers and footers on the standard setting. I imagine that's what most people do.
