Success Stories from our Global network

"My expertise was matched to a collaboration opportunity posted by one of the Crowdhelix members from Ireland. After a quick exchange on the Crowdhelix platform, I was invited to join a proposal on sustainable food systems. I am pleased to confirm that we submitted the proposal in the summer and are now awaiting the results. Many thanks to the Crowdhelix team for flagging this opportunity to me and facilitating the connection."

"Following the Crowdhelix Pathfinder Helix workshop, FRESCI was connected to an emerging consortium in translational biomedicine. This proposal is now submitted and FRESCI is delighted to be part of the consortium playing an integral innovation management role."

"We are very pleased to have recently joined the Crowdhelix Open Innovation Network. In fact it only took 2 weeks for us to be profiled and matched to a Horizon Europe coordinator, and we are now in our first consortium facilitated by Crowdhelix. We look forward to engaging more in the platform, raising our profile and connecting our skills and capabilities with world leading research organisations and innovative companies."

"Thank you to Crowdhelix for helping me match with a world leading research organisation in Spain which helped form part of my Horizon 2020 proposal (on Electrical Vehicles & Rechargeable Batteries). I am delighted to confirm that this proposal has now been funded, and the project has been launched in collaboration with the European Commission."

"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."

"Thank you to Crowdhelix for helping me match with experts and ultimately secure funding from Horizon 2020 for a state of the art project in addressing dental demineralisation and tooth decay."

"Thanks to the Crowdhelix’s ability to link organizations with different profiles and expertises in no time, LEITAT was able to successfully participate in 2 excellent EIC Pathfinder proposals, joining forces with the University of Rome, acting as an excellent coordinator. I am convinced that the Crowdhelix network will keep helping us connect with the right partners for future collaborations."

"A couple of months ago I was working on a CHANSE proposal on the role of digitalisation in reducing late life inequalities and was urgently looking for PIs to join my project. After posting my partner search on the Crowdhelix platform, I was quickly matched with collaborators from Spain and Sweden who had the relevant expertise and experience in international collaborative projects. I highly recommend Crowdhelix for searching research partners. In fact, I have already recommended it to my colleagues and research partners."

"Many thanks to Crowdhelix for contributing towards a recently funded proposal on the activation of nature-based solutions by ensuring a just transition to low carbon cities, based on the principle of the right to ecological space. Crowdhelix's work, as WP leader, will be focussed on community building and impact acceleration. The activation of a wide range and various actors and the uptake of the project results can especially build on its comprehensive experience of facilitating virtual network helixes for project synergies and match-making."

"I would like to thank Crowdhelix for their contributions towards the impact acceleration part of the RAWMINA project, recently funded by EC under GA Nº 958252, which will develop and demonstrate an innovative pilot system for the clean and sustainable production of critical raw materials (CRMs) from Mine Waste (MW) resources. One of the roles of Crowdhelix will be to create a CRMs Helix that will be used as an impact accelerator for the project. We look forward to working with Crowdhelix, and with the rest of the consortium, to deliver and ensure that this project is a true success."
