European Funds Consultancy

Our strength lies in taking care of the entire grant process for our clients to give you the best chance of success, from the beginning (identification, consortium creation) to the application and justification phase.

At Euro-Funding we are experts in European grant consultancy. We can take over all or part of the management of a project both at the level of consortium projects and projects for a single applicant.

Our team of experts can assist and advise on all administrative tasks related to European grants such as establishing administrative management guidelines, compliance and monitoring of grant requirements, periodic and final reporting and preparation for audits.

At Euro-Funding we assist numerous academic researchers by reviewing their grant applications associated with Pillar I lines of the Commission (Excellent Science). For example, we carry out reviews for the European Research Council (ERC) and Marie Curie actions (ITN, IF, RISE,…).

What are European funds?

The grants from the European Commission can be up to 100 million euros for a single project, a much higher amount than can be obtained at the national level, although it is true that there are stricter requirements for obtaining them and a high level of competition.

These funds are managed jointly by the European Commission and the EU countries through partnership agreements, which in turn lead to investment programmes that channel funding to the different regions and projects in the relevant policy areas.

Find out if your company is eligible for European funding

There are five requirements that companies should take into account when applying for direct grants from the European Commission:

The company must be aligned with EU strategies. Therefore, in relation to these strategies, it is essential that one of the keys to obtaining this aid is the development of products or services that provide solutions to different environmental, social, economic and even technological problems that have an impact on society in general.

Showing the market advantages over the competition through products or services that are disruptive and innovative and that have technological components that no one has developed so far.

Have a credible and sustainable business plan based on their market. This business plan must provide a strategy that allows companies to make money and ensure that they have a high exploitation potential of the product that will allow them to grow in the medium and long term and also generate employment. All products or services offered by companies, regardless of their sector or area, must have a digitalisation component.

They must respond to environmental components, gender balance, circular economy, among many other things, and all of them must manage to involve the citizen in their activity in order to achieve greater coverage of their project.

UP TO EUR 100 MILLION FOR A SINGLE PROJECT

We analyse the financing possibilities of your projects without obligation.

How can we help you to get European funding?

It is essential to have specialists to guide you and help you manage the European Commission grants, and to ensure that your company meets the requirements established for processing these grants, which, if granted, can bring great benefits to your business.

At the Euro-Funding consultancy firm, we provide support throughout the entire grant application process. Our team and network of collaborators are aware of the current regulations and policies, the changing rules and the requirements established by the funding bodies.
