2021 Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (HE-MSCA-PF-2021)

Congratulating successful candidates via twitter as they did last year might have not been the professional way. However, I doubt anyone would have complained about the sequential emails if they had congratulated a day later.
If they need to verify ranking they can surely just not inform the top part of the list; if I am below 85% I would rather have an answer now than waiting with those that have a chance. But OK. Sure.

I was told about UK issue.

1488+70 can be the issue?

You mean the number of applications to the UK? I don't think so, they can't exclude anyone because of the host in a given associated country. If the UK didn't contribute enough to cover the large number of applications is something they should probably address afterwards, also because they still don't know the exact number of grant agreements that will be signed (i.e., someone may renounce the fellowship). But in the end I have no idea how the EC works, so it's just speculation

In the email they sent, it says:
"with a view to complete an additional screening on a number of proposals."
It is highly probable that they have several proposals that their evaluation was not approved by the quality check, and they were sent back.

Then, sorry guys, it's all on me... because I am still in Evaluation. Maybe one rapporteur insulted my parents in Russian in his/her report, which prompted the quality teams to re-evaluate my draft? Who knows.

Based on this, then being in evaluation might actually be a good sign

Now you shouldn't get my hopes so high
It could also be the reverse: "The rapporteur praised his/her parents in Russian, there must be something fishy"

Maybe, there's no way to know for sure without knowing how the EC works

Me too..in Evaluation..

[michelef]

Enough with the speculation folks, I'll see if I can get the msca off my mind for a little bit and wait silently

Hang in there and stay as positive as you can

[levlada]

In evaluation here as well, we stand strong

[javiera]

In evaluation here as well, we stand strong

Where can we check that information?
Thank you!
