I think it’s well worth stating that there were only 50 applicants last round. That’s 50000kr for a random draw, and I think some readers of this forum are well above chance.
To be clear, are you mostly evaluating based on past performance (e.g. stuff already published), such that there’s not much candidates have time to achieve before February to increase their chances? Or are you weighting recent work more?

I’m not able to answer that. It will be up to the committee, however, you can view the committee guidelines here:

The committee will not receive further instructions, and it will be up to them how to evaluate the mandate.
