Has anyone been contacted after Erasmus Mundus withdrawals?

Hi everyone,

I applied to the Erasmus Mundus WOP-P Master's programme this year. I was shortlisted for an interview, but later received an email saying I was not selected. The email also mentioned that if a selected candidate withdraws, they may contact me if a place becomes available.

I wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this before.

Have you (or someone you know) received an offer after initially being rejected because of withdrawals?

How long after the rejection email were you contacted?

Is it common for Erasmus Mundus programmes to fill places from a reserve list?

I'm trying to understand whether I should still have a little hope or move on completely.

Thank you!
