Research Partnership

Public and private financing institutions make substantial amounts of funds available to research organizations (e.g. European Commission Horizon 2020 and Cefic Long-range Research Initiative) but they are subject to specific rules and complex administrative processes.

Our previous experience facilitates the knowledge of the different financing opportunities and relevant contacts to facilitate that your ideas are aligned with the interests and objectives of the financing institution and optimize your chances of success.
