An application in two stages

The application procedure for R&D funding programmes can vary depending on the programme. For collaborative projects, however, it is usually a two-stage process. A two-stage application procedure is a process in which we first submit a brief description of your project together with you.

1st Stage: Submission of a brief description (sketch)

Project idea development – We support you in developing innovative and promising project ideas that meet the requirements of the R&D funding programmes.
Creating a compelling outline – Our team will help you to create a concise and convincing brief description of your project that will attract the attention of funding institutions.
Correspondence with funding institutions – We take care of communication with the funding institutions on your behalf. This includes clarifying questions that may arise during the assessment and providing additional information if necessary.

2nd Stage: Submission of the full application

Selected applicants will be asked to prepare a detailed funding application. This contains a comprehensive description of the research or development project, including a detailed description of the objectives, milestones, methods, schedule, budget and expected results.
Our experts will check your application for completeness and correctness of all formal aspects. We make sure that all required documents, signatures and attachments are in order.
Evaluation, inquiries and decision: Your application will be reviewed and evaluated by experts. Based on this evaluation, the funding institution decides whether the project is selected for funding.

After approval: Project implementation & reporting

Project start: If the decision is positive, we will support you through to the official funding approval and ensure a successful start to the project.
Interim reports: Regular reporting can be demanding. We prepare detailed reports on progress and milestones achieved.
Communication with funding bodies: We ensure continuous communication with the funding institutions by submitting interim reports in their desired format and schedule to strengthen the relationship of trust.
Project completion: Towards the end, we support you in preparing a comprehensive final report that reflects all project results and the use of funds.
