MSCA has supported many ECR and amazing research over the years.
Yet, the increase in applicants (+64%) for MSCA postdoctoral fellowships (linked to ECR fleeing the US?) has not been met by an increased budget.
Thus a score of 96.4/100 is not enough this year to have a project funded.

The Marie Skoldowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships had the most applications ever in its history this season. ~17k this season vs. ~10k last season. It is brutal out here for we who love physics beyond measure. marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/news/msca-po...
This year’s annual MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships call has attracted considerable interest from the research community with 17,058 proposals submitted.
