We help to create an efficient collaborative environment for research and innovation
We support the research and innovation community in embedding inclusivity in research by enabling collaborations, mentoring organisations, and providing tailored tools and solutions. Our main activities focus on institutional change, gender equality, citizen science, public engagement, open science, and research ethics. We believe these are essential for a sustainable and impactful research and innovation ecosystem.
With over 20 years of experience, we’ve become a solid and timely ally for science in Europe. We provide various types of expertise in a wide range of topics both within EU-funded projects (Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe) and Scientific structures. In doing so, we connect industries, researchers, civil society organisations, citizens and policymakers to foster excellent and fair science.
