So 2 questions:

1. Do you think a have a chance with Exceptional promise peer review route?

2. One of the mandatory criteria according to RAeng is "You must have been awarded, or have held in the last five years, a prestigious UK‐based research fellowship, an international fellowship or advanced post judged by the endorsing body to be equivalent to such a fellowship."
Do you think participance in Horizon 2020 will be counted as that?

Thank you!
I'd love to hear about your experience with this route and especially what you showed for the last criteria.

1. Yes. I applied for RAEng endorsement with just 8 months of post-doc experience. I had only 3 first-author journal papers, and a couple of conference papers, 1 patent and 1 turned-down patent-application. Your chance of success also depends on how you spin your 2000-word statement in the application, the strength of your recommendation letter from a reputed UK professor, and the RAEng evaluator that assesses your application. Others fresh out of a PhD have been approved, whilst I know someone with a 2 year post-doc experience was rejected. The reco letter should absolutely cover the 5 aspects they require.

2. Participation in H2020 alone will not count towards the fellowship requirement. However, there is a rider in the eligibility criteria which states that you can have served in an advanced research position, and that is pretty open-ended, which many applications (including myself) used to project the strengths of our research.

Do you think applying without a PhD and with only one publication still holds any chance if you really have stellar letters and statements?

Hi everyone,

I want to apply for GTV for the peer review route.
I have a couple of questions.

I am 29. My record is Hirsh 11 with 10 first-authored papers in good journals. I just finished PhD in UK and I have some work experience in science. I also had been doing my PhD as a part of the Horizon 2020 project and there is my name on the EU portal as a participant, but the main grant holder is my supervisor. This project paid for my PhD fees and scholarship. I also held one small research project as a grant holder (~5 000 GBP for 2 years) in my home country during my master's. And I have an offer for a Postdoc position.

So 2 questions:

1. Do you think a have a chance with Exceptional promise peer review route?

2. One of the mandatory criteria according to RAeng is "You must have been awarded, or have held in the last five years, a prestigious UK‐based research fellowship, an international fellowship or advanced post judged by the endorsing body to be equivalent to such a fellowship."
