EURICE EUROPEAN RESEARCH AND PROJECT OFFICE GMBH

Their core work

EURICE is a specialized EU project management office that provides administrative coordination, dissemination, communication, and outreach services to large research consortia. Rather than conducting research themselves, they handle the operational backbone of complex multi-partner projects — managing timelines, deliverables, reporting, and public engagement so that scientific partners can focus on research. Their portfolio spans health, food sciences, and advanced manufacturing, making them a sector-agnostic project management partner trusted across diverse research domains.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In 2014–2017, EURICE focused on innovation management services (Innosupport, European IPR Helpdesk) and agri-food genomics projects (TRADITOM, TomGEM, GoodBerry), alongside early health projects in Parkinson's and neuromuscular disease. From 2018 onward, their portfolio shifted decisively toward complex biomedical research — autoimmune disease (3TR, SYSCID), gene therapy (CureCN), precision medicine (BIOMAP), and even quantum computing (OpenSuperQ). The trend shows a move from broad innovation support toward managing large-scale, high-budget clinical and translational health research consortia.

EURICE is concentrating on high-value health and precision medicine consortia, making them an increasingly experienced project office for clinical and translational research collaborations.

How they like to work

EURICE exclusively operates as a participant or third party — they have never coordinated a project, which is consistent with their role as a dedicated project management office embedded within consortia led by others. With 625 unique partners across 52 countries, they function as a highly connected hub organization, working with a vast and non-repeating network of research institutions. This means they bring exceptional cross-consortium knowledge and administrative best practices from dozens of different project cultures.

EURICE has collaborated with 625 unique partners across 52 countries, giving them one of the broadest partnership networks of any project management SME in H2020. Their reach is truly pan-European and extends globally, with no visible geographic bias.

What sets them apart

EURICE occupies a rare niche: a private SME that does not conduct research but provides the operational infrastructure that makes large consortia function. Their 52-project track record across diverse sectors means they understand regulatory, financial, and reporting requirements deeply — they have seen what works and what fails across hundreds of partner organizations. For consortium builders, adding EURICE means offloading administrative burden to a team that has managed it successfully dozens of times before.

Highlights from their portfolio

• 3TR
  Largest single EC contribution to EURICE (EUR 1.9M) in a major autoimmune disease stratification project, reflecting their capacity to manage high-budget health consortia.
• European IPR Helpdesk
  EUR 1.3M project providing IP support services across Europe — showcases their communication and outreach expertise beyond pure project administration.
• OpenSuperQ
  Involvement in an open superconducting quantum computer project demonstrates their ability to support frontier physics research far outside their health and food core.
