More Than An Event, A Catalyst For Collaboration
Crowdhelix events are carefully designed to deliver real, measurable outcomes for every attendee. Whether you're a researcher looking for consortium partners, a university building its funded project portfolio, or an innovative company seeking R&D collaborators, our events open doors that are hard to find anywhere else.
Find Your Format
Crowdhelix events are delivered in two formats so that every member, wherever they are in the world, can access the connections and knowledge they need.
/ In-Person matchmaking Events
Face-to-Face connections that go further
There is no substitute for being in the room. Crowdhelix in-person events create the kind of relaxed, spontaneous and high-trust environment where the most meaningful partnerships are formed.
Held in cities across Europe and beyond, our in-person sessions bring together researchers, consortium leaders, university representatives and innovative companies for focused, agenda-driven days of matchmaking, learning and collaboration.
/ Online training events
Expert Guidance and Global Connections, wherever you are
Crowdhelix online events make world-class matchmaking and training accessible to members regardless of geography, travel budget or schedule. Delivered through a professional virtual format, our online sessions are designed to be engaging, practical and results-driven — not passive webinars.

What Our Members Say About Crowdhelix Events
Making New Connections and Capacity Building at Crowdhelix Events
The Horizon Europe Cluster 3 matchmaking event, hosted by Crowdhelix at the University of Greenwich was an excellent opportunity for Canadian researchers just getting to know the European funding framework. It was useful to connect with relevant collaborators across the European civil security ecosystem. I learned more about collaborating, developing proposals, and participating as a Canadian researcher interested in Horizon Europe.
University of Venice Connects to Multiple Proposals Through Crowdhelix Events
Following our engagement in Crowdhelix's recent matchmaking events, the University of Venice was able to join up to 6 proposals across 2025. Venice based researchers were able to participate as both consortium partners and leaders. We're looking forward to seeing the outcomes of these proposals as they emerge. Crowdhelix's team also helped to fill gaps in the consortia as needed. They've been a valuable resource as we look to expand our portfolio of funded projects across 2026.
Crowdhelix Matchmaking Event Builds New Networks and Enables Proposal Submission
"Connections made at one of Crowdhelix's 2025 Horizon Europe matchmaking events directly led to the ACU joining a consortium for HORIZON-CL5-2025-03-D1-07: Implementing the climate action pillar of the EU-AU partnership on Climate Change and Sustainable Energy. A proposal was successfully submitted in September, 2025 that includes the ACU as a work package leader. Crowdhelix's events have been a powerful tool for creating new and diverse networks for the ACU to build upon. We look forward to future connections and submission of this kind."
Crowdhelix Event is a Key Factor in New and Meaningful Partnerships
"Crowdhelix's matchmaking events have proven to be very meaningful to me as a consortium coordinator. I would not have been able to find the partners I need without their Horizon Europe Cluster 2 session in London this Summer. As a result of this international session, we'll be submitting a proposal for an upcoming CL2 deadline in 2026."
Horizon Europe Matchmaking Event Leads to a Funded Project
"As part of a Crowdhelix supported Horizon Europe event in May, 2024 in Zagreb, Croatia, I was able to connect with a number of international partners that led to the formation of the BTL-COP consortium. Led by the University of Greenwich, this Horizon Europe CL3 proposal focuses on building trust, in-depth knowledge-sharing, and leadership in community policing to tackle poverty-related crime to develop safer neighbourhoods in UK and EU communities. This proposal was funded in the Spring of 2025. We are most grateful for the ongoing support of Crowdhelix."
Crowdhelix 'Empowers' Researchers with Engaging Training Events
“Crowdhelix’s ‘Leveraging Science with AI Tools’ training event provided real-world practical strategies to enhance research efficiency and creativity. I gained valuable insights into brainstorming innovative ideas, streamlining workflows, and boosting outreach efforts. The session’s engaging and forward-thinking approach made it thoroughly enjoyable, and it highlighted Crowdhelix’s dedication to empowering researchers with cutting-edge tools and resources.”
Crowdhelix roundtables spark lasting collaborations
I met a representative of Brunel University at a Roundtable organized by Crowdhelix in 2020. Since then we have formed a friendly professional relationship and have been collaborating on a number of proposals under the Horizon Europe program. The Roundtable is a very useful networking tool where collaboration sparks and long-standing relations between organizations are ignited. I am grateful to Crowdhelix that the platform extends beyond its restraints to virtual Roundtables and RTO events. Thank you, Crowdhelix, for doing a great job on bringing people together in the name of science!"
Pathfinder Helix Webinar provides valuable insight
"The Pathfinder Helix webinar was almost perfect for me. I always had questions on communication and dissemination activities, management of intellectual property in the projects related to the technologies at low TRL (up to TRL4). Most of them were answered and I noted some important insights for the future."
Crowdhelix facilitates connection to a world-leading Citizen Science expert
“Thank you to Crowdhelix for matching and then connecting us to a world leading expert on Citizen Science - from within the Crowdhelix network - following my attendance at a Crowdhelix event. That connection has now led to a collaborative proposal being submitted which is currently under evaluation. It has also led to the prospect of future collaborations being developed in this space.“
Food Helix event leads to successful proposal submission
“I attended the Food Helix event in Milan where I met excellent contributors to my proposal I was working on. The Crowdhelix team have connected me to several experts at the University of Milan and National Institute of Chemistry in Slovenia who were interested in the same call. Having put together a very interdisciplinary consortium, I am pleased to confirm we submitted the proposal together last month and are currently awaiting an evaluation result. I would like to thank Crowdhelix for organising this event and facilitating the connections.“
€10M project won following Crowdhelix event introductions
“Following a Crowdhelix Energy and Climate brokerage event in Brussels, I was connected to several new organisations from the industrial and research intensive sector from across the Crowdhelix network. These new contacts, then formed part of a Horizon 2020 consortium that has recently received a positive evaluation from the European Commission securing 10 million euros. I would like to thank Crowdhelix for making these connections and enabling our success”.
Significant industry-wide contacts following event participation
“Participation in the Maritime & Marine Helix launch event was a significant experience for all of us and proof of the correctness of the decision to access the Vision2020 and Crowdhelix network. Significant contacts have been made with a number of scientific and research institutions, as well as business entities, which creates the perspective of further development of our company and its participation in a number of different international projects. Our goal remains the development of shipping activities and the maritime economy in our country.”
