Happy to share another success story from our team. European project evaluation has evolved dramatically over the years. Once, scientific excellence and selecting the best researchers shaped a winning proposal. Later, project impact became the decisive factor. Today, the textual fit of a proposal to the programme and call text has become essential. With AI‑assisted writing and AI‑driven evaluations increasingly influencing the EU funding landscape, many excellent proposals now end up on reserve lists despite strong concepts and teams. All the more reason why we are proud to announce that we have secured a new EU project—thanks to our dedication, experience, and professionalism. A big thank you to everyone involved.
