Their core work

Wise & Munro is a Dutch consultancy operating at the intersection of public administration, digital governance, and social inclusion. Their project portfolio indicates expertise in designing transparency tools for government, tackling educational and social inequalities, and building cybersecurity awareness systems for local public authorities. The firm appears to be a specialist advisor or research partner contributing social science, policy, or user-engagement expertise to technology-oriented EU consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

With only three projects spanning 2015–2020, the evolution is modest but discernible. The earliest project (ROUTE-TO-PA, 2015) focused on open data and government transparency, while later projects (2017) branched into social inclusion (ISOTIS) and cybersecurity (CS-AWARE). This suggests a broadening from open government toward a wider public-sector resilience and equity agenda.

The organization appears to be moving from open data and transparency toward security and resilience of public institutions, a timely shift given growing cyber threats to local governments.

How they like to work

Wise & Munro operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, indicating a specialist contributor role rather than a project leadership profile. With 43 unique partners across 15 countries from just 3 projects, they join large, geographically diverse consortia — typical of a consultancy that brings targeted expertise to broad multi-partner initiatives. This pattern suggests they are flexible collaborators comfortable integrating into varied team structures.

Despite only three projects, they have built connections with 43 partners across 15 countries, indicating participation in large European consortia with wide geographic spread. No single geographic cluster dominates their partnership network.

What sets them apart

Wise & Munro occupies a niche at the crossroads of public-sector digital transformation, social equity research, and cybersecurity — a combination rarely found in a single consultancy. Their consistent focus on the public administration end-user makes them a relevant partner for projects that need to bridge technical solutions with real-world government adoption. For consortium builders, they offer the kind of cross-domain perspective that helps translate technology into policy-ready outcomes.

Highlights from their portfolio

• CS-AWARE
  Largest individual EC contribution (EUR 249,375) and addresses the increasingly critical topic of cybersecurity for local governments.
• ROUTE-TO-PA
  Their first H2020 project and largest overall budget, focused on open government transparency — a foundational theme for their subsequent work.
