Services for creating proposals and implementing projects

Professionally made application stands out!

On the EU programming period 2014-2020 we have helped our customers to win over 35 million EUR grant funding in total, mostly from the Horizon 2020 programme.

We realise the project planning phase from the first idea to a final project application. When preparing an EU project application, as our client you can focus on the core contents and your main expertise, while our experts take care that your application is competitive and exceeds the funding body’s requirements and evaluation criteria. You can lead the process and we review, comment and edit the proposal according to your preferences.

We can also take the responsibility for coordinating the application preparation process, when we guide our client and their co-operators to realise an outstanding application that will also lead the project personnel through the project implementation phase.

Culmentor is familiar with a wide range of funding programmes. We have acknowledged expertise on writing successful applications and managing projects for the following programmes: EU Horizon 2020, including SME Instrument / EIC Accelerator; Life; structural funds in Finland and Sweden; Finnish research and development programmes.
