Success Stories from our Global network

"Following a post on the Crowdhelix platform over last summer, we received a great number of responses and successfully identified partners for a WIDERA proposal focusing on women in science, highlighting the importance of gender equity in research and innovation."

"Thanks to Crowdhelix for their expertise in dissemination, communication, and stakeholder analysis. Our collaboration has resulted in the successful funding of the LaserBlood project under the HORIZON-EIC-2023-PATHFINDEROPEN-01-01 call. Their contribution to the project, aimed at advancing pancreatic cancer research innovation, has been invaluable to our proposal."

"Their platform enabled project coordinator Petru Poni to identify and connect with the right partners across Europe, ensuring that we brought together a diverse mix of expertise, perspectives, and institutional strengths. This collaborative network was essential for shaping a competitive Horizon Europe proposal under the WIDERA - ERA TALENTS call and building the foundation for our project’s success. Without Crowdhelix, the process of finding suitable partners and aligning our shared goals would have been much more difficult. Their support empowered us to transform an ambitious idea into a truly international, well-balanced consortium ready to deliver impact."

"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."

"Thank you Crowdhelix team for hosting the Circular Economy & Materials Matchmaking Event in Barcelona. As a first time attendee representing the Carbon to Metal Coating Institute, at Queen's University in Canada, I had the opportunity to initiate the formation of a consortium with partners with successful experience in HE Pillar 2. Crowdhelix goes beyond expectations by ensuring they connect you to partners that will meet your needs. The agenda is compact and effective, allowing everyone to openly share ideas and build proposals. I look forward to working with the new collaboration formed!"

"From my experience, Crowdhelix has worked very well for the University of Leeds' collaboration needs. We posted on their platform, on behalf of a Leeds based PI, about collaboration on a recent Horizon Europe submission. We were able to connect with strong consortium partners with whom to develop this proposal in time for the deadline. Crowdhelix also contributed to the development of the Impact section through the inclusion of their Helix Impact Model."

"Through responding to posts added by other users on Crowdhelix, Universität des Saarlandes was able to connect to two separate European consortia with proposals under development that needed the expertise of Universität des Saarlandes based PIs. We're pleased with the collaborative partnerships we were able to achieve and await the pending evaluation results."

“The recent webinar hosted by Crowdhelix was a notable success, providing researchers with essential tools and insights to elevate their collaborative projects. The workshop provided a comprehensive exploration of crafting impactful impact sections, with a particular emphasis on Horizon Europe destinations and key impact pathways. Attendees emerged from the webinar empowered with practical strategies and a deeper understanding, poised to develop stronger project proposals and collaborations. This achievement underscores Crowdhelix‘s dedication to fostering innovation and excellence.”

"I am happy to share I have recently been engaged by a colleague in Crowdhelix and after a few communications we joined the consortium and submitted a proposal together. We are now waiting for the results. On other occasions, I have been contacted right after posting, as well as interacting with people who have advertised or expressed interest in a particular call. I have shared Crowdhelix with the entire team in UNIVPM and we are happy be part of this platform."

"Sabancı University Nanotechnology Research & Application Center worked with Crowdhelix and BC Partnering during the proposal preparation phase of the NanoBio4Can “Nanobiotechnologies for Innovative Therapeutic Approaches for Cancer” project. A top listed project, it received a budget of €3.8 million. NanoBio4Can will support the training of 24 international postdoctoral fellows who will work on the discovery of nanotechnological drugs and the development of treatment approaches against cancer."
