Success Stories from our Global network

“We would like to thank Crowdhelix for running and hosting us at their coordinators’ proposal writing workshop earlier this year. I'm delighted to report that following this event we submitted our proposal - SPEEDIER - which has recently been funded.”

“Thanks to the support of Crowdhelix we were connected to an SME that specialises in the exploitation and commercialisation of research outputs. This SME since joined our proposal which was submitted to Horizon 2020 and is now pending an evaluation result. We would like to thank Crowdhelix for their support with the proposal and enabling this new match for collaboration - which bridges different sectors and regions.”

“In preparing a proposal to Horizon 2020, Crowdhelix connected me to an SME member that specialises in Innovation Management activities which helped my consortium position the impact objectives of the proposal. I’m delighted to report that in August, this proposal was funded scoring 5/5 for impact. I would like to thank Crowdhelix for supporting us with this application and making this new - academia to business - connection which has contributed to our success in Horizon 2020.”

”We announce with pleasure that Coca Cola European Partners (CCEP) has joined Crowdhelix and within the first few weeks of joining were successfully matched and connected to a Research Technology centre who subsequently included us in a large-scale Horizon 2020 circular economy proposal.”

"As a new RTO member of the Crowdhelix platform, we participated in one of the brokerage and capacity building events last year to help prepare for a proposal that Antwerp was looking to lead. We are pleased to report that some new connections were made at at this event (which we built into the proposal) and the proposal recently passed the first stage application process with the EC. We are now working with Crowdhelix and others to prepare and submit a full stage 2 proposal."

“Since joining Crowdhelix only within the last year, Sabanci University has since been matched to join 2 new consortiums (in the areas of social sciences and innovation support) which have led to 2 new proposals being submitted which are currently under evaluation. The new connections we have made since joining the platform have helped us raise our visibility and showcase our areas of excellence.”

“Crowdhelix successfully profiled and connected us to a Research Technology Organisation in Italy that was leading a Horizon 2020 proposal in ICT. That proposal has subsequently been funded and we plan to start work in October. We look forward to starting this project and building new collaborative networks in this exciting area of innovation, thanks to Crowdhelix.”

“Crowdhelix were incredibly helpful in the preparation of our H2020 proposal, assisting us to bring a diverse consortium together and build a convincing commercialisation plan. The impact Manager we worked with was particularly professional and supportive through the writing process.”

“We have worked with Crowdhelix on many proposals and events and have a close relationship with them. In fact, we have also invited Crowdhelix to participate in four proposals that we coordinated or co-coordinated in the last year. The Helix Impact Model gives an innovative edge to results in more impactful projects.”

“We are delighted about this success story! It has been an enriching experience. We are very grateful for Crowdhelix's instrumental support and for putting us in touch with the optimal partners. Looking forward to working on other proposals with you soon.”
