The EC has taken the unusual step today of postponing the deadline for the Marie Curie Fellowship schemes by one day due to IT difficulties. Here’s the message which currently appears on the Participant Portal:

Due to an IT issue that occurred within 24 hours of the call deadline, participants are hereby informed that the call deadline is extended by an extra 24 hours and is now Friday 12/08/2011 17:00:00 Brussels Local time [4pm UK time].

This revised deadline applies to all Fellowship schemes: Intra-European Fellowships, International Incoming Fellowships and International Outgoing Fellowships.

You can continue to make alterations to the proposals and submit up to this new deadline. However, you must submit your proposal by the new cut off day and time for it to be considered eligible. If you have already submitted your proposal, then you need do nothing further unless you wish to make amendments.
