Securing European Research Funding for Higher Education Institutions

In today’s competitive academic landscape, universities and higher education institutions are increasingly seeking to expand their research activities through European funding.

Research, both fundamental and applied, is essential for academic progress, but it also requires substantial financial investment.

Unfortunately, many institutions face challenges in securing these funds due to limited resources, a lack of expertise in navigating complex funding mechanisms, and the time-consuming nature of application processes.

Our team offers the expertise and support you need to secure these vital funds, allowing your faculty to focus on its primary mission—advancing knowledge.

Identifying Research Funding Opportunities

The European Union provides a range of specialized funding programs to support research and innovation within higher education.

We work closely with your faculty to identify the most relevant funding opportunities, ensuring that your projects align with EU strategic priorities such as:

Horizon Europe: The EU’s flagship program for research and innovation, supporting projects that address global challenges, foster scientific excellence, and enhance industrial competitiveness across a wide array of fields.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA): Funding that supports researchers at all stages of their careers, promoting mobility and fostering the development of highly skilled researchers through collaborative projects.

European Research Council (ERC) Grants: Grants aimed at supporting pioneering research across all disciplines, helping top researchers undertake high-risk, high-reward projects.

Digital Europe Programme: Funding for projects that drive digital innovation, enhance digital infrastructure, and develop advanced digital skills, particularly in collaboration with the private sector.

We ensure that your institution can fully capitalize on these and other EU funding opportunities to advance your research agenda.

Comprehensive Support Throughout the Application Process

Securing European research funding requires a well-prepared and compelling application, often requiring expertise that universities and research institutions may not have in-house.

Our team provides end-to-end support throughout the application process:

Project Scoping and Feasibility Analysis: We collaborate with your faculty to define the scope of the research project, conducting feasibility analyses to ensure it meets the criteria for relevant EU funding programs.

Proposal Development: We assist in drafting a persuasive research funding proposal that clearly articulates your project’s objectives, impact, and alignment with EU priorities. Our expertise ensures that your application emphasizes the innovative and strategic value of your research.

Budget Planning: We help you develop a detailed budget that meets the stringent requirements of EU funding programs while ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently to maximize project success.

Partnership Building: For collaborative research projects, we identify and secure strategic partners across Europe, ensuring your consortium is well-positioned to succeed and meets the EU’s expectations for international cooperation.

Strategic Alignment with EU Research Priorities

We help align your research projects with the EU’s strategic priorities to increase the likelihood of securing funding.

Our team conducts a thorough analysis of your project’s objectives and matches them with the relevant EU programs.

This strategic alignment not only enhances your application’s chances of success but also ensures that your research contributes significantly to broader European goals, such as:

Scientific Excellence: Projects that push the boundaries of knowledge and contribute to the EU’s position as a global leader in research and innovation.

Sustainable Development: Research initiatives that support the European Green Deal by promoting sustainability, reducing carbon emissions, and protecting biodiversity.

Digital Transformation: Projects that leverage digital technologies to address societal challenges, enhance cybersecurity, and foster innovation across sectors.

Navigating the Submission Process

Once your research proposal is ready, we guide you through the submission process, ensuring that all requirements are met and deadlines are adhered to:

Compliance Check: We perform a thorough review of your application to ensure it complies with all EU regulations and funding program guidelines, minimizing the risk of disqualification.

Application Submission: While you handle the final submission, we offer continuous support, guiding you through the process in real-time via video conferences to ensure everything is correctly uploaded and submitted on time.

Follow-Up and Advocacy: Post-submission, we remain engaged, monitoring your application’s status and advocating on your behalf if additional information or clarification is required by the funding body.

Success-Based Partnership

We operate on a success-driven model, where our remuneration is based on a percentage of the funds obtained or a fixed fee, depending on the complexity of the project and the amount of funding requested.

This means our success is directly tied to yours; we only succeed when you do.

This approach ensures that our interests are fully aligned with those of your institution.

Our extensive experience in European research funding allows us to navigate the intricate challenges inherent in these processes, ensuring your projects are not only financially supported but also optimally positioned to make a profound impact within the European research community.

We address complex issues such as securing fair compensation for faculty members who contribute to proposal development, meticulously accounting for the often-overlooked costs associated with research, and coordinating multidisciplinary teams across multiple universities with precision.

Additionally, we ensure that partnerships are equitably managed, and that human resource needs, including the integration of doctoral students, are carefully considered.

By partnering with us, your institution can confidently navigate the complexities of EU funding, allowing your faculty to focus on advancing their research with the assurance that every detail is expertly managed.
