Frequently Asked Questions

Your EU Funding Questions Answered

Find answers to common questions about our EU grant writing services, the application process, and European funding programmes.

What types of EU grants do you specialize in?

We specialize in all major EU funding programmes including Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, LIFE Programme, Digital Europe, Interreg, Creative Europe, EU4Health, the European Defence Fund, Connecting Europe Facility, and EIC Accelerator. Our team has expertise across research, innovation, education, environment, and digital transformation funding streams.

What is your success rate for EU grant applications?

Our overall success rate is 85%, which is significantly above the EU average of 15-20% for most competitive programmes. For Horizon Europe specifically, our success rate is 92%. These rates reflect our deep understanding of evaluation criteria and our rigorous quality assurance process.

How much do your EU grant writing services cost?

Our fees depend on the complexity of the proposal, the EU programme, and the level of support required. We offer competitive pricing and typically work on a fixed-fee basis so you know the cost upfront. We also offer a success fee model for certain programmes. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific needs.

How long does it take to write an EU grant proposal?

The timeline depends on the programme and the readiness of your project concept. For a standard Horizon Europe proposal, we typically need 8-12 weeks from kickoff to submission. For smaller programmes like Erasmus+ KA2, 6-8 weeks is typical. We also offer expedited services when deadlines are tight.

Do you help with consortium building for EU projects?

Yes, consortium building is one of our core services. We have an extensive network of research institutions, universities, SMEs, NGOs, and public bodies across all 27 EU member states. We help identify the right partners, ensure geographic and thematic balance, and manage the consortium formation process.

Can you help if we already have a draft proposal?

Absolutely! Our Proposal Review & Quality Assurance service is designed exactly for this purpose. We conduct a thorough evaluation against the specific call criteria, provide detailed written feedback, and suggest concrete improvements. Many clients have significantly improved their scores through our review process.

Do you work with SMEs and startups?

Yes, we work extensively with SMEs and startups. In fact, EU programmes like the EIC Accelerator, Eurostars, and many Horizon Europe calls specifically target SMEs. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities for smaller organizations seeking EU funding and tailor our approach accordingly.

What happens if our proposal is not funded?

While our 85% success rate means most proposals succeed, we understand that not every application is funded. We analyze the Evaluation Summary Report (ESR), identify areas for improvement, and help you resubmit a strengthened proposal in the next call. Many of our resubmissions achieve significantly higher scores.

Do you provide support after the grant is awarded?

Yes, we offer comprehensive post-award project management support. This includes project coordination, financial management, periodic and final reporting, deliverable tracking, amendment requests, and audit preparation. We ensure your project stays compliant and on track throughout its duration.

Which countries do you serve?

We serve organizations in all EU member states and associated countries eligible for EU funding. Our team is multilingual and has experience working with partners across the entire European Research Area. We also support organizations from non-EU countries participating as associated partners.
