Success Stories from our Global network

"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."

"IISPV found its first match on the Crowdhelix platform only a couple of months after we joined the network. We responded to a partner search posted by a Crowdhelix member from Turkey who was looking to complete their consortium for the EU Joint Programme - Neurodegenerative Disease Research Call. After a quick email exchange, we were invited to join their consortium and submitted the proposal together at the beginning of March. We would like to thank Crowdhelix for facilitating this connection and supporting our efforts to increase IISPV's participation in international projects."

"So far we have very good experience with Crowdhelix team and platform itself. Vytautas Magnus university is a member of this community for just a couple of months but we've already managed to join an EU Cyber security related project consortium due to this platform. Project was successfully submitted, hoping for best results. Looking for other opportunities in the platform."

"Last year I submitted a post on the Crowdhelix platform hoping that our expertise in nature-based solutions might be of interest to consortia working on decarbonisation calls. Soon after the post was published, we were contacted by a Crowdhelix member from Slovenia who invited us to join their consortium for a call on carbon-neutral cities. We are delighted to confirm that our proposal has recently been awarded the funding & we look forward to starting the project later this year. On behalf of our research centre, I would like to thank Crowdhelix for helping us to make this vital connection."

Many thanks to Crowdhelix for helping my team and I contribute towards the preparation and submission of a large-scale international collaborative network (led by Birmingham University) to produce systemic, end-to-end, solutions that protect environmental and human health from persistent and mobile chemicals. Crowdhelix's work in the proposal was particularly useful in the area of impact acceleration and designing clustering activities.

“Many thanks to Crowdhelix for helping me prepare and submit a MSCA COFUND application last year. I'm delighted to report that this proposal - in advanced materials and advanced manufacturing- has now been awarded by the European Commission. This project will be a game-changer for our institution, and will provide us with an additional mechanism to attract excellent researchers (globally) to the Gazi University which will help us enhance our visibility, connectivity and impacts in advanced and additive manufacturing."

I would like to thank Crowdhelix for helping me to connect with a prospective collaborator following a post I made on the platform in response to the Green Deal call. This post was subsequently matched and ultimately resulted in my organisation joining a consortium of 26 partners across Europa and Africa jointly submitting a funding application. We now await the full results from the European Commission. Many thanks to Crowdhelix for helping to facilitate this part of the match-making process.

"In late 2020 we were working on several Green Deal proposals and used the Crowdhelix platform to help us complete the consortia. We were quickly connected to a Belgian association, Slovenian research institute and Spanish SME who had not only the specific expertise we were looking for but also an impressive track record in EU-funded projects. I am pleased to confirm we submitted the proposals together last month and are currently awaiting the evaluation results. I would like to thank Crowdhelix for helping us to connect with these excellent collaborators."

"I would like to thank Crowdhelix for assisting us with a large- scale (10M Euro) Blue Growth proposal. The assistance and facilitation provided by Crowdhelix helped us find expertise which contributed to the impact acceleration of the proposal. I’m delighted to report that this proposal has now been funded by the European Commission, whilst also scoring full marks (5/5) for Impact and ranking, in first place, as the top proposal for this call."
