ABOUT US
Halbert Research is a niche training and consultancy company offering expert services on EU funding programmes. The company is based in Ireland, providing services to European and international clients. We have provided expert advice on EU funding since 1999, including for the EU Framework Programmes FP5, FP6, FP7 and H2020. We are now helping clients to participate in the latest EU funding programme for research and innovation, Horizon Europe (2021-2027). We work directly with individual researchers, research groups, organisations and consortia for applications to Horizon Europe. We also provide coaching services for research managers and administrators, in order to help organisations to build and extend their research support services.
Our services include specialised workshops and one-to-one coaching on how to plan, prepare and submit a proposal for EU funding. We also provide help in the early stages of research proposal planning and writing, to ensure that your proposal is aligned with the EC Call. Our evaluation services will increase the competitiveness of your proposal submission.
Through our long experience in all stages of research funding, we bring a reassuringly pragmatic approach to proposal writing and project management. Our track record as experienced EC evaluators brings unique insights to prospective applicants.
