Success rates for proposals to the EU Research Programmes vary from one in three to one in twenty. Developing a good proposal typically requires three man months of effort. So its important that you give your proposal the best chance of success, and minimise the frustration of wasted efforts.

Preparing these proposals can be a complicated process. Identifying the appropriate Action Line or Targeted Research Action; understanding Programme modalities, procedures and contracts; finding partners in other countries; formulating a collaborative Workplan; and drafting a proposal involve activities outside the scope of the normal operations of most organisations. Too many good project ideas fail because the proposers don't understand the requirements of EU Research Programmes.

Mestor has worked for years with proposers, evaluators, project managers and the European Commission. We can help you define the scope of project, the consortium structure and exploitation plans to meet the Commission's requirements. We also can audit your drafts, and even help you prepare the document.
