European Research and Project Office GmbH

Founded in 2000, EURICE - European Research and Project Office GmbH - provides comprehensive support services for the planning, initiation, and implementation of large international collaborative research projects. EURICE has been involved in EU-Framework Programmes since FP4 and has been supporting researchers in more than 250 EU funded projects including 50 Horizon 2020 projects to date. Today, Eurice is among Germany’s largest project management offices, with a dedicated team of more than 40 staff members with different professional and scientific expertise, such as law, social sciences, medicine, biology, chemistry, communications, or computer sciences.

In addition to classical project management, Eurice helps to develop and implement coherent IP strategies and supports consortia through dissemination, networking, training, and capacity building activities. Thus, Eurice accompanies researchers and innovative companies through the entire life cycle of a project – from the first idea to successful project completion – and beyond.

Role within KATY

Project management, communication, dissemination and exploitation: Eurice supported the coordinator in all aspects of project management, including administrative, legal and financial matters, project monitoring, progress management and decision making. Eurice facilitated the project workflow in general, stimulated interaction between the different project management bodies, and, together with the coordinator, acted as a liaison between the project consortium and the EC. Together with all partners, Eurice ensured coherent external communication of the project and its results towards relevant target groups. In addition, Eurice supported all partners in networking activities and in questions concerning stakeholder and media relations throughout the project.
