[DIVERSE] Re: Decision about the DIVERSE MSCA application

9 Apr 2024

      Dear all,

There are some very positive comments indeed, and some criticisms I believe we could
improve in a resubmitted proposal, such as communication, clarity, and integration of the
project's parts.

Other issues, such as employability and economic impact, seem to me to relate to the fact
that we are from the social sciences/humanities, where such things are not as
"causal" as in other scientific disciplines.

Thank you all for your hard work!

With kind regards,
Sofia

Subject: [DIVERSE] Decision about the DIVERSE MSCA application

Dear all,

As many of you would have seen, we have a decision about our application, but
unfortunately not the positive outcome that we had hoped for.

I attach both the Decision and the Evaluation Summary Report documents. There are a mix of
comments, with the best score awarded to the implementation criteria.

With 920 applications sent to the same call (see below) I had actually anticipated a high
risk for rejection, but I had hoped for a higher score. Still, it is encouraging that we
have received some very positive comments. Very interested to hear about your thoughts
about any potential next steps, should we improve and resubmit, or not? What do you
think?

Regardless, for me the idea was great and timely, I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating
with you, and we have formed a wonderful consortium. I also like to add that I personally
learned a lot through this process, Thank You Everyone! and specially Nicola and Tara for
generously sharing your knowledge and experiences about MSCA applications with us.

Best regards,

Nasrine
