R&D support
Our consultants have a wealth of experience in identifying the most appropriate sources of finance for research and development (R&D) projects. We also provide assistance with proposals for EU framework funding.
Project assessment: We can help scope your project requirements and make sure you are exploiting the most appropriate range of funding sources.
Sources of finance: The range of R&D grants is confusing and the application processes can be complex. Our in-depth knowledge of the European Commission’s Framework Programme can significantly improve your chances of making a successful application, while we can also match your skills to R&D projects that require partners. We also help clients with funding applications including Proof of Concept Funding, Smart Awards and ESPRC grants.
