Hristofor Miho, Project Manager & Researcher

We enjoy the security that consultancies provide when it comes to drafting a project. The professional innovation consultants helped us in defining the partners, defining the objectives and the structure of the work in order to be reliable and successful. The consultancy also provided tremendous support in managing all the communication and merging of files between the partners. This helped us as scientists to not waste time on issues we don't know or don't have the infrastructure to handle.

Our collaboration with the consultancy was essential to win the grant for many reasons, but the most outstanding ones were

• Understanding what a topic demands and structuring the work plan in the proposal.
• Identifying and defining well the characteristics that the consortium has to have.
• Managing all the collaboration between partners and merge the brainstorming to generate final efficient drafts in quality and time.
• Helping with the drafting of the proposal in the sections where scientists are not used to drafting (impact, implementation etc).
• Managing the legal and financial aspects of the project.

We definitely recommend using consultancy services to be efficient in preparing a quality proposal for a successful bid. The experience of a consultancy is essential to take safe steps in the preparation of the proposal.
