Support for EU proposal writing, consortium building and networking

Are you developing a proposal for an EU research and innovation project? SDU RIO offer specialised support in application writing, consortium building and network and outreach within the EU.

Researchers aiming to lead or participate in large collaborative European projects can receive specialised support from SDU RIOs Research Support team.

The advisors are experts in developing competitive proposals for the Horizon Europe - Pillar 2: Global Challenges. With in-depth knowledge of EU research policy, funding instruments, and partnership structures, they help researchers navigate the complexities of creating and submitting a successful EU funding proposal.

Strategic proposal development securing long-term project success

As a researcher or PI you will get hands-on assistance throughout the proposal phase – from shaping the project idea and identifying suitable calls, to building strong consortia, budgeting, and co-writing key sections of your proposal.

Beyond individual applications, the team helps guide researchers in making strategic choices early on – strengthening your projects visibility, partnerships, and positioning within the European research landscape towards building a long-term funding portfolio.

Contact the team early in your process to discuss your idea and explore how to elevate your proposal further.
