EU project management - coordinate your EU funded project efficiently

Manage your EU funded project efficiently.

The management of your grant requires specific skills and practical experience. Our mutidsciplinary team have all the skills – ranging from organisational and communication to management skills – following the Open PM² management methodology used by the European Commission.

We also have many years of project management experience from many Framework Programme and Horizon 2020 projects where we assume responsibility for a wide range of project management related activities – from submitting deliverables on the EU portal to preparing reports.

We can support you in all project management related tasks, either as a project partner or a service provider. We have been involved in numerous collaborative projects, including Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Actions (RIA), Innovation Actions (IA) and Coordination and Support Actions (CSA), as well as in Innovative Training Networks (ITN), and are thus well prepared for the new Horizon Europe programme.
