ACENTOLINE COMUNICACION EDITORA SL

Their core work

Acentoline is a Granada-based communications and media SME that specializes in bridging social sciences and humanities with energy and climate policy. They bring expertise in public engagement, science communication, and dissemination activities within EU research projects focused on the energy transition and the European Green Deal. Their work centers on making complex energy and environmental research accessible to broader audiences and ensuring that social dimensions — equity, gender, behaviour change — are embedded in climate action narratives.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Acentoline's early H2020 work (2017-2019) focused narrowly on social sciences applied to energy policy through SHAPE-ENERGY, a coordination action. From 2019 onward, they broadened significantly: Energy-SHIFTS expanded the SSH-energy nexus toward SET-Plan alignment, while SHARED GREEN DEAL (2022-2027) brought a much wider thematic scope covering just transitions, gender, biodiversity, circular economy, and zero pollution. The trajectory shows a clear expansion from energy-specific communication toward comprehensive Green Deal engagement across multiple environmental and social dimensions.

Moving from narrow energy communication toward broad Green Deal public engagement with strong emphasis on social equity, just transitions, and cross-cutting environmental themes — expect future work in citizen engagement and inclusive climate governance.

How they like to work

Acentoline operates exclusively as a participant, never leading consortia — consistent with a specialist communications partner that supports larger research teams. With 38 unique partners across 22 countries in just 3 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia and appear comfortable in multi-national settings. This broad partner network suggests they are a flexible, low-friction partner who adapts to different consortium configurations rather than anchoring around a fixed group.

Despite only 3 projects, Acentoline has built a remarkably wide network of 38 partners across 22 countries, reflecting the large consortium sizes typical of SSH and coordination actions. Their reach spans most of Europe with no apparent geographic concentration beyond their Spanish base.

What sets them apart

Acentoline occupies a niche that few SMEs fill: professional science communication specifically for energy and climate research, grounded in social sciences and humanities. As a media and editorial company rather than a university or think tank, they bring practical dissemination and audience engagement skills that academic partners typically lack. For consortium builders needing a dedicated communication partner who understands both the SSH framing and the editorial craft, they offer a rare combination.

Highlights from their portfolio

• SHARED GREEN DEAL
  Their largest project (EUR 145K) and longest duration (2022-2027), covering the full breadth of the European Green Deal with ten thematic areas from just transitions to zero pollution.
• SHAPE-ENERGY
  Their entry into H2020, establishing their niche at the intersection of social sciences/humanities and European energy policy — the foundation for all subsequent work.
