Resubmitting a Rejected Horizon Europe Proposal: How to Read Your Evaluation Report Munich, 21 October 2026 · Nexuswelt Group The evaluation summary report is the most valuable document a consortium receives from the European Commission, and most are read once, in irritation, and then filed. That is an expensive habit.…
Munich, 19 October 2026 · Nexuswelt Group Most startups assume the Chips Joint Undertaking is about fabrication plants and therefore not for them. That assumption is wrong twice over: it misses the collaborative research calls, and – more importantly – it misses the fact that much of what the Chips…
Munich, 14 October 2026 · Nexuswelt Group Every EU project has a structural measurement problem: it ends before its impact happens. Outputs exist during the project, outcomes emerge shortly after it, and impact arrives years later – usually after the consortium has dissolved and the final report has been approved.…
Munich, 9 October 2026 · Nexuswelt Group Most writing on Ukraine and EU funding addresses Ukrainian organisations. This one addresses the other side of the table: the coordinator in Munich, Barcelona or Helsinki assembling a consortium, who would consider a Ukrainian partner and does not know how to find one…

Munich, 2 October 2026 · Nexuswelt Group Technology sovereignty spent several years as a phrase in speeches. During 2026 it became something more consequential for anyone seeking European funding: a set of legislative proposals, a defined list of priority technologies, and a logic that increasingly shapes which topics are funded…
Munich, 30 September 2026 · Nexuswelt Group The communication, dissemination and exploitation work package is usually the last one assigned and the first one questioned at review. That sequence is not an accident: it is assigned last because nobody in a technical consortium wants it, and questioned first because it…
Munich, 28 September 2026 · Nexuswelt Group Almost everything written about EU funding stops at the moment of award. What happens afterwards – what you have to produce, when, in what system, and who submits it – is learned by most partners in the week before the first deadline. It…
Munich, 25 September 2026 · Nexuswelt Group If your country is associated to Horizon Europe, the eligibility question is settled and the access question is not. European consortia form through networks, months before a call is published, and those networks are geographically concentrated in ways that have nothing to do…
