FROM IDEA TO PROJECT
We screen existing and emerging national and European funding opportunities and identify the ones that best suit your goals and objectives
When you entrust us with a project idea, this is what we do:
L-up provides support and guidance
for developing your proposal
L-up assists you in setting up the project proposal, putting all our technical, operational, and managerial experience at your service:
/ From the very start, we provide guidance in terms of concept and work plan and orchestrate the various contributors.
/ Thanks to our excellent network we can assist you in establishing contacts with strong allies in order to set up a powerful multidisciplinary project consortium.
/ We help you consolidate the technical part of the proposal with the support of the sound knowledge of our experts in the relevant industrial sector or research area.
/ With our deep understanding of impact promotion, management processes, and allocation of resources, we actively contribute to editing the non-technical parts of the proposal.
/ L-up has insider knowledge of the requirements and customs that govern the selection process at the respective funding bodies: We take a generic auditor’s approach to finetune wording and information design of the proposal.
/ Working with L-up, you will be able to use the Emdesk platform, a professional tool specifically designed for smooth and secure collaborative editing of project proposals.
/ To sum it up, L-up ensures that your proposal matches the eligibility and excellence criteria of the targeted programme.
/ In the final stage of proposal writing, the draft is reviewed by three different L-up experts, putting it through a veritable dry run.
/ Our unique iterative collaborative reviewing process allows spotting weaknesses in order to perform final modifications, precisions, and polishing.
/ As soon as the final version has been agreed on, we take care of the timely submission at the tender portal and keep you in the loop about the subsequent steps.
/ When a pitch is expected (for example in the context of EIC Accelerator), L-up helps you to get prepared and rehearse for the audition.
