New Service: Horizon Europe Consultancy
Are you planning to coordinate or contribute to a Horizon Europe proposal?
With OpenCosmos, you don’t have to go it alone.
Proposal Lab is a structured, expert-led co-creation process where we work collaboratively with your team — from concept development to final submission. Whether you're a newcomer or an experienced applicant, we offer the strategic intelligence, guidance and support needed to build a truly competitive proposal.
Our support includes:
- Strategic guidance on the intelligence behind the call
We help you decode the call text, understand what the European Commission is really looking for, and align your concept with policy priorities, expected impacts, and cross-cutting goals. Our early guidance gives your proposal a solid strategic foundation.
- Advice on consortium composition and proposal summary
We support you in shaping a balanced and credible consortium — identifying potential gaps, clarifying partner roles, and refining your overall project logic. Together, we also co-develop a sharp and compelling proposal summary that sets the right tone from the start.
- Detailed Guidance on writing all sections of the proposal
We provide you with a structured writing framework and clear guidance on each section — from Excellence to Implementation. Your team leads the content, while we coach, comment, and fine-tune collaboratively through shared documents and live feedback.
- Writing support for the sustainability strategy in impact section
We directly contribute to sustainability, exploitation, and innovation uptake strategies — helping you build a credible, evaluator-friendly impact plan that goes beyond the project’s duration.
- Pre-evaluation of the final draft
Before submission, we conduct a full review of the proposal to identify weaknesses, inconsistencies, or opportunities for clarity. You receive actionable comments and recommendations that help you deliver a polished, compelling application.
We offer this free consultancy and writing support for OC users.
