Research
Bring the future closer.
For 25+ years we have taken part in European and national research and innovation programmes, from proposal writing to consortium coordination. Rather than presenting ourselves as suppliers, we engage as active partners: we bring technological and financial expertise, connect ideas to institutions and businesses, and support projects that change industry and society.
The six roles we play in consortia
Every project requires a mix of technical, scientific and administrative expertise. These are the roles we have covered for twenty-five years in European and national projects, from initial application through to final administrative close-out.
Innovation management
Technology transfer, business model of results, intellectual property management, valorisation of start-ups and spin-offs generated by the project.
Dissemination & communication
Dissemination of scientific results to research communities, decision-makers and market. Events, publications, digital channel management and media relations.
Exploitation of results
Post-project valorisation strategies: commercial pathways, licensing, industrial partnerships, access to innovation finance instruments for the scale-up phase.
Impact assessment
Socio-economic and technological assessment of research investments: impact metrics, estimation models, sectoral benchmarks. One of our longest-standing areas of expertise.
Data modelling & visualisation
Data architectures for complex projects, quantitative analyses, monitoring dashboards, predictive models oriented to consortium decisions.
Proposal writing & admin support
Proposal writing, consortium building, definition of work plan and budget. End-to-end administrative support throughout the application process.
Financial reporting, managed internally
The tax and accounting expertise we maintain in the Comply area allows us to manage in-house the financial reporting of European projects: cost certification, financial audit, periodic financial reporting, support during European Commission audits. For a consortium coordinator, this represents a tangible operational advantage: a single technical and financial point of contact, with direct responsibility for the numbers.
Domains of expertise
The areas where we bring technical expertise to consortia: a horizontal base of methods we apply to every project, and a set of vertical sectors in which we have built depth through repeated experience.
Innovation management
Technology transfer, business model, IPR management, assessment of start-ups and spin-offs generated by research.
Dissemination & communication
Dissemination of scientific results, events, communication channel management, stakeholder and media relations.
Impact assessment
Economic, technological and social impact assessment of research and innovation investments.

A solid European network
Partnerships cannot be bought, they are built. Ours has grown one project at a time, accumulating professional relationships with organisations across Europe.
Universities and research centres — KTH Stockholm, Politecnico di Torino, Sapienza University of Rome, Coventry University, and dozens of other European universities with which we have collaborated on multi-year projects.
Tech SMEs, integrators and large enterprises — Engineering Group, Microsoft European data centres, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and a network of industrial partners in Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, Israel, Sweden, United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The network is not a marketing asset: it is a live, working one. When a new idea arrives, we know who to call.
Let's build it together
If you have an idea to develop, a consortium to build, or a proposal to write, tell us about it. We'll assess together whether it can work and in which role it makes sense for us to come in.
