French innovation consultancy providing impact assessment, policy support, and dissemination services across diverse EU research consortia.
Erdyn is a Paris-based innovation and technology consultancy that supports EU research projects with impact assessment, policy analysis, dissemination, and international cooperation activities. Rather than performing core R&D, they help consortia measure societal and economic impact, manage knowledge transfer, and connect research outcomes to policy and market needs. Their work spans aviation, food, environment, and security — always in a cross-cutting advisory role rather than as a domain specialist.
Coordinated TAIPI (Tools and Actions for Impact Assessment and Policy makers Information) and ICARe (International Cooperation in Aviation Research), both focused on bridging research and policy.
Three transport/aviation projects — ICARe (coordinator), ANIMA (noise management), and INVENTOR (airframe noise reduction) — show sustained involvement in EU aeronautics research support.
Participant role across highly diverse projects (MAGNIFICENT in food, DRYvER in ecology, SOTERIA in data privacy) suggests they provide horizontal services like dissemination, impact measurement, or stakeholder engagement.
DRYvER (2020-2025) on drying river networks and adaptive management represents expansion into climate and biodiversity assessment.
Erdyn's early H2020 work (2015-2018) centered on research policy tools and international aviation cooperation, with both coordinated projects falling in this period. From 2020 onward, their portfolio diversified significantly into environmental science (DRYvER), digital privacy (SOTERIA), and continued aviation noise research (INVENTOR), all as a participant. This shift suggests a move from leading coordination-type projects toward embedding their consulting expertise within larger, more technically specialized consortia.
Erdyn is broadening from aviation-focused consulting into environmental and digital security domains, positioning itself as a versatile impact and policy consultancy for diverse EU research consortia.
Erdyn operates primarily as a participant (5 of 7 projects), joining large consortia where they contribute horizontal services rather than domain-specific R&D. With 105 unique partners across 23 countries from just 7 projects, they work in very large consortia and rarely repeat partners — indicating a hub-style network. This makes them easy to integrate into new consortia, as they are experienced in adapting to different teams and scientific domains.
Erdyn has built a remarkably wide network of 105 partners across 23 countries from only 7 projects, reflecting their participation in large pan-European consortia. Their reach is pan-European with no strong geographic concentration beyond their French base.
Erdyn's distinctive value is their ability to serve as the "impact and policy bridge" in technically complex consortia. While most consultancies specialize in one sector, Erdyn credibly operates across aviation, food tech, ecology, and cybersecurity — always providing the translation layer between research outcomes and real-world policy or market relevance. For consortium builders, they are a reliable partner for impact assessment, dissemination work packages, and policy engagement across virtually any domain.
