They award the Seal of Excellence as a document attached to the bid - I think it is awarded about 85%. I scored 91.2% last year, but 88.3% this year

Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
That's actually quite ridiculous.
So, higher scored proposals are not excellent enough to get into the successful tier but neither faulty enough to be granted "excellent"? Or am i missing something here?
Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
The idea is that anything over 70% should be funded, but because of a limited budget, they are funded based on score until the funding runs out. On top of that there is an expectation that one would run out of a budget, so a higher tier of projects that are very good but can't be funded. The Seal of Excellence is to recognize that a proposal that essentially is fundable is a good proposal, in the hope that you can use it to support your proposal for other funding sources. Many national governments have funding for unfunded but 'excellent' proposals from MSCA.

Please, how i can get the Seal of Excellence? Is an attached pdf anywhere? I get 86, so I must be elegible to that Seal right? Thx
Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
Hi again,
please, anybody knows how the "seal of excellence" works? I do not understand the procedure to request it. Any idea?
Thanks

Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
It will be sent out in a few months to all applications over a certain threshold. Last year it was 85%. There is no need to request the seal of excellence. It’s automatic.
Re: Marie Curie Individual Fellowship Forum
Thank you CountZ,
