How we work

We work as a sparring partner with coordinators, researchers and project teams to turn strong ideas into fundable, well-managed and impactful European research and innovation projects.

Sparring partner

We challenge ideas constructively, ask the right questions and help shape a stronger project concept.

Clarity in complexity

We translate complex funding rules, call requirements, project structures into clear, practical next steps.

Research-first support

We reduce administrative, coordination and impact-related workload so researchers can focus on science.

Long-term partnership

We build trusted collaborations with coordinators, partners and consortia across Europe.

Proposal writing

Our Proposal Writing service provides end-to-end support for health research consortia, from shaping a competitive project concept to delivering a high-quality proposal ready for submission. We translate scientific excellence into a compelling, evaluator-focused narrative by developing robust work plans, maximising impact pathways, designing credible implementation structures, coordinating partner contributions, and managing all administrative requirements. Supported by proven proposal templates and accelFINANCE® for structured budget development, we ensure every proposal is coherent, compliant, and strategically aligned with the call objectives. With success rates more than three times the European average, we help clients secure funding for ambitious, high-impact health research and innovation projects.

Grant advice

Our grant funding advice service helps researchers, universities, hospitals, SMEs and companies identify the most suitable European and national funding opportunities for health and life science innovations. We assess project ideas, recommend the most appropriate funding instruments and support strategic grant planning to maximise funding potential. Using our proprietary accelGRANTS® platform, we systematically identify relevant calls and align them with your scientific objectives, technology readiness and long-term strategy. Whether you are considering MSCA Doctoral Networks, Horizon Europe Cluster 1, IHI, Cancer Missions or EIC Pathfinder, we help you make informed funding decisions and build a strong foundation for successful proposals.

Project communication, dissemination and exploitation

Our Project Communication service helps health research projects maximise visibility, engage stakeholders and increase the impact of their results. We develop communication, dissemination and exploitation strategies, create websites and digital content, manage social media and organise workshops and stakeholder events. From patient engagement and clinical communities to policymakers and industry, we translate complex scientific results into clear messages that maximise project outreach and impact throughout and beyond the funding period.

Project management

Our Project Management service supports international health research consortia throughout the entire project lifecycle, from grant preparation to final reporting. We coordinate governance, meetings, finances, reporting, risk management and communication with funding agencies, allowing researchers to focus on scientific excellence. Our team has supported more than 100 EU-funded projects, involving over 1,000 project partners and more than €300 million in collaborative research funding. Using accelCOCKPIT®, accelFINANCE® and accelINNO®, we ensure efficient project delivery, financial control and innovation management.

Training

Our Training courses help researchers, proposal writers and project managers develop the skills needed to secure and deliver successful research projects. We offer practical workshops on European funding opportunities, proposal writing, project management, communication and dissemination, as well as transferable skills modules for doctoral candidates and early-career researchers. Tailored to the needs of health and life science organisations, our training combines current funding requirements with hands-on experience from European collaborative projects, providing practical knowledge that participants can apply immediately.

Experience that supports successful EU projects
