Success Stories from our Global network

"After we posted our interest in building a consortium for one of the upcoming Horizon Europe Cluster 2 calls on the Crowdhelix platform, we received numerous messages from universities across Europe interested in collaborating with us. I am pleased to report that last month we submitted a proposal focused on the role of perceptions shaping European societies together with four other Crowdhelix members. Many thanks to the Crowdhelix Network for helping us to connect with excellent institutions in the UK, Netherlands, Portugal, and Israel."

Our proposal to the MSCA-COFUND call was recently accepted for funding. With this project, we will host 20 post-doctoral researchers here at Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey over the next 5 years. These researchers will get the opportunity to pursue research in the field of Green and Blue Transition. This would not have been possible without the support of Crowdhelix! Thanks go to the Crowdhelix team who facilitated the transformation of an idea into a winning proposal.

"Many thanks to the Crowdhelix network for helping us to facilitate and submit a MSCA COFUND application in Biomedical Technologies. I am delighted to report that this proposal has now been funded by the European Commission. This prestigious award will help Izmir Institute of Technology to further enhance its profile, connectivity and capacity in Biomedical Technologies at regional and international level. Many thanks to Crowdhelix for their network's support in helping us secure this excellent award."

The Crowdhelix platform has helped us to establish multiple connections with excellent organisations from across Europe over the last couple of years. Most recently we have been awarded a MSCA Staff Exchanges project coordinated by a Crowdhelix member from Turkey. I would very much recommend the platform to anyone who is looking to diversify their networks and build impactful collaborative partnerships.

"Many thanks to Crowdhelix, and in particular, Ger Hanley, for supporting Kadir Has in the submission and now award of a large-scale WIDERA project under Horizon Europe. This project will significantly raise the profile, network and capacity of Kadir Has and Turkey in the area of Gender and Women Studies."

"Following the launch of an Innovation Investment Prize with the Crowdhelix Open Innovation network, I am delighted to confirm that Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) has recently invested in new carbon capture technologies with Rovira i Virgili University in Spain. I would like to thank Crowdhelix for acting as a gateway to academic excellence across Europe to facilitate this outcome."

“Crowdhelix helped us to find two valuable partners for our Horizon Europe proposal. They are from both academia and industry, demonstrating the variety of stakeholders that are available on the platform. The Crowdhelix team are also helpful and interested in supporting the success of the network's members.”

“Crowdhelix was critical to our efforts in order to engage with both technological and industrial stakeholders in building Horizon Europe proposals – the response time was very rapid, and we were successfully able to integrate several new, productive partners into our proposals. The team from Crowdhelix has also been very supportive and engaging in the partners search process, much more so than other platforms.”

"Crowdhelix has both helped us find valuable partners for our Horizon Europe proposals, and has been a valuable partner itself. In response to a Crowdhelix post we were able to join a consortium with a multidisciplinary team from the UC across three departments. The Crowdhelix team was also quite helpful providing the impact booster service for one of our coordinations in 2022."
