Connect your research team to the funding reality
From Research Expertise
to Consortium Value
I have spent most of my career guiding beneficiaries through work programmes, interpreting calls, identifying proposals under preparation, finding coordinators, finding partners, navigating the Brussels eco-system, navigating European eco-systems and consulting research teams and companies how to do EU funding.
This training galvanises teams to identify a clear place in a collaborative project. You will learn to read a call as a shared challenge, explain the value of your expertise and make the case for a meaningful consortium role.
- Turn your research profile into a clear partner value proposition.
- Find consortium entry points and communicate across disciplines.
- Propose a credible task, Work Package or coordination role.
- Navigate Brussels and the European networks

“Working with Niels on our podcast was great. It was a smooth conversation with a friend rather than a work effort. He is a very attentive listener and a great podcast host who knows how to highlight the important aspects of a speaker's input and make them attractive to the listener.”
