What we do
Advisory built around the policy cycle
From strategy to implementation, we work across the public and private sectors that shape European research.
Research Strategy
Long-range positioning for research institutions and companies entering EU-funded programmes.
Programme Design
Structuring calls, work programmes and evaluation frameworks that hold up to scrutiny.
Compliance & Impact
Navigating eligibility, reporting and impact measurement across Member States.

About the firm
A small advisory team, close to the institutions.
We are a compact team of policy analysts and former programme officers. Our work is deliberately narrow: we stay close to the EU research and innovation system so our advice is grounded in how decisions are actually made.
