Hi, (02)
I went through the applications assigned to me (see the attached file),
and came up with 2 strong accepts, 2 accept, 1 borderline, 1 reject. (03)
One problem I had is that there are 2 strong candidates in the six I
reviewed, both of which are strong candidates, but both apply for rather
comprehensive support (flights from Bxxxxx, accommodation,
registration). From their statements, I am not sure if they would be
able to participate if they receive only a partial grant. Therefore, I
scored them one point down (to "accept"), but I am not sure if this is
the best option. (04)
How should we deal with these cases? (05)
