My path took me from a Marie Curie PhD Fellowship to supporting the European Commission, advising cities across Europe, and leading operations at EIT and consulting at GLG.
Today, I help teams and individuals turn ideas into EU-aligned strategies, fundable projects, and meaningful European careers.
Our Services
The EU Funding Landscape Scan & Call Matchmaking service identifies the most suitable EU programmes and specific calls for your project or organisation, based on your goals, sector, and capacity. It filters the entire EU funding system into a clear shortlist of real opportunities you can successfully apply for. You receive a simple, actionable roadmap showing exactly where to apply, why each call fits, and what strategic adjustments may be needed to increase your chances of success.
The Grant Proposal Pre-Validation & Redrafting Session provides an evaluator-style review to identify gaps, weaknesses, and compliance issues in your draft. You receive clear, actionable corrections aligned with the call text, policy priorities, and evaluation criteria. The proposal is then strengthened and redrafted to significantly improve clarity, impact, and overall funding competitiveness.
The Consortium Building Guidance & Partner Profiling service identifies the ideal mix of partners your project needs to meet EU requirements and score competitively. You receive a clear profile of the expertise, countries, and roles needed to create a strong, policy-aligned consortium. The result is a targeted list and guidance on selecting, approaching, and securing high-value partners for successful EU project submission.

FAQ
-
What types of EU funding programmes can you help me with?
I support clients across the full EU funding landscape, including Horizon Europe, EIT, ERC, Creative Europe, and other thematic calls. Whether you need early strategic guidance or proposal refinement, I help identify the most suitable opportunities and position your project for success.
-
Do I need to have a complete project idea before booking a session?
No. Many clients come with early-stage ideas or only a general direction. During the Intro Consultation Call, we clarify your objectives, assess your project readiness, and outline the most relevant EU pathways, funding calls, or partnership strategies.
-
Can you review and improve my grant proposal?
Yes. I offer specialised proposal pre-validation and redrafting sessions focused on clarity, narrative strength, compliance, alignment with EU policy priorities, and evaluator logic. You receive structured recommendations and a written summary after the session.
-
How does the Intro Consultation Call work?
Before the call, you complete a short questionnaire so I can prepare. During the session, we analyse your goals, identify gaps or opportunities, and define the best EU strategy—funding, partnerships, project design, or alignment. Afterward, you receive a concise written summary with key insights and next steps.
-
Do you also offer EU career coaching for institutional roles?
Yes. EU career coaching is a separate service focused on helping you navigate EU institutions, DG priorities, EPSO processes, interviews, outreach, and positioning. These sessions are distinct from funding consulting and follow their own structure and outcomes.
-
Do I need a PayPal account to pay for a session?
No. You can pay securely with your debit or credit card using PayPal’s guest checkout. Select PayPal at checkout, then click “Pay with Debit or Credit Card” or “Checkout as Guest” and enter your card details—no PayPal account required.
