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?
