[DIVERSE] Re: Decision about the DIVERSE MSCA application

Dear all. On behalf of Eikholt, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to participate as an associated partner in the application. It has been an exciting and educational process. Credit to Nasrine and the rest of you who have worked hard on the application. I hope that the collaboration within the network continues.

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 Submission statistics Nov 29, 2023 11:57:26 AM A total of 1,066 proposals were submitted in response to this call.
