Research & Innovation Support (Horizon Europe)

Support for UK universities, research organisations and businesses in Horizon Europe: finding calls and consortium partners, university–industry matchmaking, proposal writing, and project and financial management through to final reporting.

The right call, the right partners, a stronger proposal and a well-run project.

The UK has been associated to Horizon Europe since 1 January 2024. From the 2024 Work Programme onwards, UK organisations can take part on the same terms as other associated countries: as beneficiaries receiving EU funding directly, and as coordinators leading consortia.

That is a big opportunity for UK universities, research organisations and companies, but competition is tough and the programme is complex. We help you find the right calls, build strong consortia, write compelling proposals and, once funded, run the project and its reporting smoothly.

Our differentiator: links to Greek and wider EU partners. Working across the UK and Greece, we help UK organisations connect with Greek universities, research centres and companies, and with partners across Europe, and we help EU consortia find the right UK partner.

We work alongside your research office and the UKRI National Contact Points, not instead of them.

Frequently asked questions

Can UK organisations take part in Horizon Europe?

Yes. The UK has been associated to Horizon Europe since 1 January 2024. From the 2024 Work Programme onwards, UK organisations can take part on the same terms as other associated countries, including receiving EU funding and coordinating consortia. Always check the specific call conditions, as a small number of calls have restrictions.

Can you help us find partners for a consortium?

Yes. We search for and introduce credible partners across Europe, with particular links in Greece, and help you shape a balanced consortium with clear roles.

Do you write the proposal for us?

We work with you: shaping the concept, structuring and drafting sections, building the budget and work plan, and reviewing against the evaluation criteria. The research ideas and expertise remain yours.

Can you manage a funded project?

Yes. We provide project and financial management support, including planning, coordination, cost tracking, reporting, deliverables and review preparation, working with your research office.
