Open calls
Grants from €30,000, open right now.
Verified against the official call documents, and applied for you, start to submission.
Small grants, big programmes, short routes.
EU programmes hand part of their budget onward through open calls run by funded projects: cascade funding. For an SME that means €30,000-500,000, applied for as a single company, no consortium, decided in months rather than years.
One honest correction, before you pick a call.
Most cascade calls fund 70% of your costs, not 100%, and the award is always at the discretion of the funding body. We tell you where you actually stand before you spend a euro, including when the honest answer is that a call is not worth your time.
Open now.
Every entry is checked against the official Guide for Applicants before it appears here.

Wondering whether a specific call fits you?
Send us the call and a few facts about your company. We check it against the call's actual guidelines, not the theme label, and tell you in writing whether it is worth pursuing. Free, no obligation.
Request a free call-checkFind out where you stand. Free.
No cost, no account, no sales call. You receive a written strategy report — not a scorecard: the call that fits (or an honest “not yet”), your realistic position, and exactly what a winning bid would take.
Answer a short, structured questionnaire. The same direct, factual writing you would get if we worked together.
Prefer your own language? Start the intake in Dutch, French, German, Spanish or Portuguese — we write your Match Report and the application in English.

Structured from your intake — the basis every judgement rests on.

PIC status and the concrete steps to take before you apply.
Risks & mitigations

The calls worth knowing about, once a week.
Cascade calls are not published in one place. Each consortium announces on its own project website, and aggregators run weeks behind. We monitor the sources directly and send what we find, with our own reading of who it actually fits. No pitch, and one reply takes you off the list, the same day.
