We transform visionary ideas into successfully funded projects. Strategic consulting, sharp proposal writing, and robust project governance for organisations across the Ocean, Climate and Space ecosystem.
Navigating multi-million euro, multi-partner initiatives means balancing rigorous compliance with fast-moving technology — often with resources built for research, not for administration.
A strong proposal under European programmes needs more than good science: it demands alignment with programme policy and objectives, strict impact criteria and clean multi-partner coordination.
Leading a complex consortium draws resources away from the research itself. Multi-million budgets, periodic reporting and strict financial audits can overwhelm internal teams.
Modern research infrastructures generate unprecedented, multi-source datasets. Many institutions lack the governance models and AI strategy needed to scale them responsibly.
Research programmes succeed or fail on execution as much as on ideas. Our team coordinates complex, interdisciplinary research and technical projects across the ocean, climate and space sector, so scientific and industry teams can stay focused on delivering the programme.
End-to-end ownership of complex, multi-partner European R&D programmes — milestone governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance across Horizon Europe, Copernicus, LIFE, INTERREG and NextGenerationEU frameworks.
Horizon scanning, proposal architecture, partner search and negotiation, covering the full funding lifecycle across national, European and international programmes.
Budget stewardship, technical and financial reporting, and audit-ready compliance with European Commission regulations — from cost eligibility to final reporting.
AI strategy, research infrastructure planning, data governance and innovation management — helping organisations navigate technology change and turn strategy into an executable roadmap.
Functional leadership for AI-driven analytics, web applications and data-management systems — from data governance to deployment, turning research data into operational decisions.
High-level liaison with European Commission agencies, funding authorities and scientific consortia across 15+ countries.
A consistent structure that carries a programme from first concept through to closure, with no gaps between phases.
Validating the scientific concept against real institutional calls — viability, policy alignment and technical baseline before committing resources.
Mapping work packages, milestones and digital/AI integration, and setting the architecture of stakeholder roles across the consortium.
Assembling the technical, administrative and financial sections into a coherent, compliant narrative for reviewers.
Running day-to-day governance — partner communication, risk monitoring and milestone tracking against the grant agreement.
Continuous budget tracking, cost eligibility checks and compliant periodic reporting, built for EU audits.
Finalising reports, supporting dissemination and exploitation planning, and preparing the ground for follow-on funding.
We specialise in the ocean, climate and space research sector, which lets us understand its unique challenges and provide tailored solutions rather than generic consulting — from Horizon Europe consulting and ESA consulting to research infrastructure consulting and marine data services.
A sample of the multi-partner European projects and programmes our team has supported, spanning Copernicus, ESA, EUMETSAT, ECMWF and NextGenerationEU frameworks.
A national research-infrastructure programme integrating environmental research facilities across Italy, funded under NextGenerationEU.
Our role: programme and financial management, holding milestones to schedule across a multi-site national infrastructure under tight reporting deadlines.
Four ESA Earth Observation initiatives: COLOR (CDOM-proxy retrieval from Aeolus observations), MiTHO (multi-stressor ocean health hazard indexes), 4DMED-SEA (4D reconstruction of the Mediterranean Sea) and MEDICANES (satellite-based understanding of Mediterranean tropical-like cyclones).
Our role: project management across all four initiatives, plus communication and stakeholder/institutional relations for 4DMED-SEA and MEDICANES.
Two Copernicus Marine Service Thematic Assembly Centres, led by CNR — Sea Surface Temperature (SST TAC) and Ocean Colour (OC TAC) — delivering essential ocean variables from satellite observations.
Our role: consortium member handling data production monitoring, programme management, and reporting/meetings across both services.
Ecological Observing System in the Adriatic Sea (ECOAdS), integrating oceanographic and ecological research with Natura 2000 marine conservation strategies, across a ten-partner Italian-Croatian consortium led by CNR-ISMAR.
Our role: project management across the ten-partner, cross-border consortium.
Independent quality assessment of Essential Climate Variable (ECV) products in the Copernicus Climate Data Store, led by CNR on behalf of ECMWF.
Our role: project management and user engagement across the four-year service contract.
Two Horizon 2020 initiatives: AtlantOS (oil-spill hazard mapping and disaster-risk-reduction products for an operational oil-spill forecasting system) and INTERACT2 (Trans-National Access management across a pan-Arctic network of terrestrial research stations).
Our role: contributed to advanced oil-spill forecasting products for AtlantOS, and led project management for INTERACT2.
Two EUMETSAT invitations to tender: preliminary design of the Copernicus Ocean Colour Vicarious Calibration (OC-SVC) infrastructure — including the E-MOBY (European Marine Optical BuoY) concept, within a consortium led by CNR — and user consultation for EUMETSAT's Atmospheric Composition satellite data, building structured two-way communication with the scientific user community.
Our role: contributed scientific, technical and managerial input to the OC-SVC preliminary design, and led user consultation activities for Atmospheric Composition satellite data.
Private-sector strategy and innovation engagements — client details withheld under NDA.
Strategy assessment for a private space-technology company, evaluating organisational readiness and market positioning ahead of a technology investment decision.
Our role: led the strategy assessment engagement end-to-end, from initial diagnostic to executable recommendations.
Ongoing strategy and digital transformation advisory for a private ocean-monitoring company, including an AI strategy roadmap to guide data governance and operational AI adoption.
Our role: leading the strategy assessment, digital transformation and AI roadmap engagement since 2022.
We provide comprehensive management consulting, innovation, and IT advisory services for the ocean, climate and space research sector, supporting public institutions and organisations involved in cutting-edge research and technology initiatives related to the environment.
Our team brings together highly skilled management and technology consultants with decades of combined experience, having actively supported the coordination of research and technical projects across various environmental domains, funded by prestigious international programmes.
We specialise in the ocean and climate research sector, allowing us to understand its unique challenges and opportunities and provide tailored solutions.
Extensive experience working with esteemed institutions speaks to our ability to deliver — a demonstrated record of achieving project objectives and exceeding expectations.
Successful innovation and management require technical expertise, strategic thinking and effective communication. We integrate these to provide solutions that drive sustainable impact.
We don't just edit and format. Our team brings domain expertise in oceanography, Earth observation and enterprise AI, so we can engage with the technical core of a proposal — not only its wording.
Our financial management practice tracks budgets, cost eligibility and partner reporting on an ongoing basis, so discrepancies are caught well before an official audit takes place.
Yes — our digital transformation and AI advisory service covers strategy, data governance and infrastructure modernisation for both research institutes and industry partners.
Both. We support single proposal-writing engagements as well as long-term programme management and institutional digital transformation.
