I fully agree with Ray, sharing in the disappointment but also in the optimism about a resubmission. I think it will be worth trying it again!

Still, I was pleased to see that we were above threshold on everything. The criticisms seem addressable and are (I think) useful feedback. Of course, as you noted, these are always going to be fiercely competitive bids. If there is an opportunity to improve and resubmit to a future call, then it would be worth doing!

Hello Nasrin and everyone, It is sad that we got a reject but we passed the threshold and we got many good comments as well! The call is competitive (1055 submissions) and I think it would have been a miracle to be accepted in our first try regardless our hard work. It was really nice to work with you the first time, I would be happy to continue the work and improve the proposal based on the comments.

Dear Nasrine and all So sorry to hear this news. Would love to have worked with you. My thanks to Nasrine and everyone involved for their hard work and collegiality. Hopefully we can try again. This is an immensely competitive funding mechanism. So it is often a case of "try and try again", not being too downhearted.

Use caution opening links and attachments. Dear Nasrine, I was very disappointed for you and your colleagues when I read the letter this morning, you put in tremendous work to get this proposal over the line. I was very disappointed for myself also as I had enjoyed our meetings and was really looking forward to working with this amazing consortium. I am very happy to support you in this again if you decide to resubmit. I did note that - Industrial Doctorates (DN-ID): 64 proposals (6.0% of total) and - Joint Doctorates (DN-JD): 82 proposals (7.7% of total) I just wonder would it be worth looking at a less competitive stream? Take care in the meantime and thanks so much for including me.

Even being an associated partner this was a new field. The fact that the proposal scire above the basis in all sections and with an excellent on the implementation plus the very good comments shows clearly that there is a strong basis. The focus of the proposal is also crucial. We can stay in touch to see how this can be evolved to something actionable. Maybe instead of a Marie Curie it could be transformed to a Horizon DRS project.
