Expert guidance to strengthen Horizon Europe proposals and support health research teams

Preparing a Horizon Europe proposal can feel overwhelming — especially at the beginning.

There are templates to manage, portals to navigate, documents to collect, partners to coordinate, and deadlines that leave little room for trial and error.
Many researchers — and the teams supporting them — initially look for help with these very practical aspects of the process.

And that support matters.

But as the proposal takes shape, another challenge often emerges: despite having all the required elements in place, the project still feels fragmented, hard to prioritise, or difficult to communicate clearly.

This is where Horizon Europe becomes less about filling in sections and more about making informed choices:

• what truly belongs in the proposal — and what doesn’t,

• how the objectives, work plan, and impact logic connect,

• how to translate a strong research idea into a coherent and convincing project narrative.

My role is to support you across this transition.

I provide structured guidance on the operational aspects of Horizon Europe, while helping you step back at the right moments to strengthen coherence, logic, and positioning.
Not by taking ownership of the proposal away from you, but by creating the conditions for clearer thinking, better decisions, and a more robust final outcome.

Through coaching, pre-submission reviews, and tailored training and workshops, I work with:

• researchers preparing or leading Horizon Europe proposals in health, and

• research support teams and grant offices aiming to strengthen internal capacity and proposal quality.

The goal is not simply to submit on time — but to approach Horizon Europe with greater clarity, confidence, and control over the process.
