We provide our clients advice for European projects. We identify the scope, based on our clients’ ideas, we write and develop complete proposals, including the administrative, technical and commercial documents, the dissemination and communication of results, and the social assessment/impact, as well as the legal and financial aspects.

Once a proposal submitted to a European call for proposals has been approved, we take care of the administrative, financial and legal management of the European project, as well as the dissemination, communication and engagement strategies. We assist our clients in the search for partners, we prepare the grant agreement process and in the development of the project, we coordinate the work and communication among partners, toward stakeholders and society.

When a proposal is successful in its corresponding call, we follow the project throughout its duration, we monitor its technical and financial progress through technical reports sent to the relevant public administration. We liaise with the European Commission and attend consortium meetings, providing templates and guidelines to streamline internal procedures.

In addition, as part of our advisory function for European projects, we have the expertise to execute the dissemination of R&I results, and support the transfer of technology and the methods of exploiting R&I results with partners, as well as develop social innovation tasks. We also manage the exploitation phase of the results and develop the strategy for using them for commercial purposes or for public policy development.
