From a project idea to a robust funding proposal
ATB has experience in applying for and coordinating regional, national and European research projects. We support partners in translating a technical or organisational challenge into a coherent research and innovation project.
The process does not begin with a search for just any funding programme. First, we clarify the problem, the innovative content, the expected impact and the required expertise. On this basis, a suitable funding framework can be identified.
How ATB can help
Refining the project idea
We structure the initial situation, research needs, target groups, application context and expected results.
Identifying a funding framework
ATB assists in identifying regional, national and European funding opportunities and their technical and organisational requirements.
> Specific programmes, deadlines and funding conditions are subject to change. This page should therefore not promise permanently valid individual details, but rather refer to an up–to–date selection of programmes or official funding bodies.
Developing a consortium
We help to identify the required roles and bring together suitable research and industry partners. According to its own information, ATB has a Europe-wide and global network spanning both sectors.
Structuring the application
Together, we develop objectives, work packages, responsibilities, deliverables, milestones and a clear logic for exploitation and transfer.
Preparing coordination
ATB can provide support with technical coordination as well as contractual and financial project matters. The specific scope is agreed upon for each project.
What should be clarified before a funding assessment
| Question | Why it is important |
|---|---|
| What specific problem is to be solved? |
defines the project’s technical scope |
| What is new compared to the current state of the art? | describes the need for research and innovation |
| Who needs or will use the results? | highlights the impact and context of application |
| What expertise and partners are required? | determines the consortium structure |
| Which results should be usable after the project ends? | links research with transfer |
| What in-house contributions and resources are available? | creates a realistic basis for planning |
Process for joint project development
- Initial assessment: Classify the topic, objective, partner status and timeframe.
- Concept phase: Refine the research question, application, outcomes and roles.
- Funding assessment: Check the requirements of a suitable funding framework.
- Proposal development: Structure work packages, resources, risks and knowledge transfer.
- Submission decision: Partners confirm the final scope and their contributions.
Important note
Collaboration with ATB does not constitute a funding commitment. Funding decisions are made exclusively by the relevant funding organisations. Eligibility criteria, quotas, deadlines and conditions under state aid law must be checked for each programme on the basis of the relevant official documentation.
