EU-funded R&D Projects:

Proposal Writing, Evaluation and Coordination of EC-funded R&D projects

After 4 decades of intensive engineering and research in the field of machine vision, the time has now come for the younger generation to take over the work without leaving them alone. This applies in particular to the application and coordination of EU funding applications and funded EU projects. Here, already 34 years of experience in a wide range of functions in EU projects count in addition to numerous research proposals that I had successfully submitted on behalf of employers and customers, I also have evaluated hundreds of project proposals within the past 25 years in charge of the EU Commission as well as the numerous reviews of scientific research projects counting up to 100+ contracts with the EU Commission demonstrating a sound experience in research funding in the long term.

I would be happy to write the research proposals for you, including the organization of team building of international project consortia with all the formal and informal components that are crucial to the success of an application, thereby certainly increasing considerably your chances for success in the tough competition for excellence in EU funding. In addition to a high level of scientific competence and the presentation of visionary ideas with breakthrough potential, research proposals require constant reference to the current state of the art, as well as a high degree of diplomacy in order to ensure a continuous consensus among the partners in multinational consortia with a wide variety of cultural influences , so that individual goals of individual partners can be aligned with the collective goals of the consortium from proposal application to project completion. The success of a proposal does not depend on the 100% implementation of a proposer’s guide, but rather on the interpretation of the call texts for submitting proposals in the context of the respective contemporary technical and political priorities and their ranking in the allocation of funds.

Once an application has been approved, the actual work really begins for the coordinator in order to maintain the scientific excitement from the application phase throughout the entire project period and to continually motivate the research team and keep them on track with the work plan in order to fulfil its technical promises and turn them into achievements. Risk assessments are not only a key success factor in advance when submitting a proposal, but also in the continuous monitoring of the project process in order to ensure technical success by adapting the research paths in the event of unexpected difficulties or deviations from expected research results. Finally, also punctual cost statements and reporting, the dissemination of technical findings and the presentation of success stories in terms of results and achievements through the coordination of scientific publications and their scientific and economic use through the protection of property rights and intellectual property rights, as well as the punctual preparation of cost statements and payment claims for the project partners, although these success factors often may seem just routine to many novice proposers.

You can get all of this from a very experienced and successful hand. Ask for an offer today for your research ideas that you want getting funded by the European Commission.

You can order the coordination service for the application of your proposal either as an all inclusive package, or just single components taken from the described phases of the working plan. Generally, we appreciate to share into the work with our contractor, because this lead always to a better commitment for a reliable supply of research content in the past.

If you decide to prepare your proposal on your own, without any support from our side you still can use the opportunity to receive a pre-evaluation of your proposal by an experienced evaluator to improve it before submission to the Commission. The feedback you will receive uses exact the same evaluation criteria that are set by the Commission for the evaluation of the particular call.

Use this unique opportunity and contact me!

 

Additionally, we offer also coordination on EU-standard for projects approved by the EC where we have not been involved in the application or pre-evaluation.

Are you looking for a professional coordinator who will steer your project safe through several technical reviews and who assure documentation and cost claims following EU-standard procedures?
