Opening the review of my failed ERC grant after 3 months (that& #39;s what it took for the disappointment to fade). Let& #39;s see.
7 reviewers. Yep, that& #39;s how serious the ERC is in evaluating the proposals. Kudos to them for this.
Reviewer 5 was very upset with my supervision track record. you cannot apply to an ERC Adv with so few students supervised apparently. Also very upset ("astonishing") I don& #39;t teach (we don& #39;t have to at CNRS)
my take from the CV comments: if you want to be considered as competitive, you have to publish tons of papers, supervise tons of students, teach a lot, apply to 5 grants every year. In other words, 80hrs week, no personal life.
I know what I& #39;ll choose, thanks.

Reviewer 1: the PI did not supervised enough students so far
According to reviewer 2, I gathered a reasonable amount of grants only. So one ERC (plus other national grants) was not enough apparently. You& #39;re good only if you raise a lot of money.
