EUROPROJECT OOD

Their core work

EUROPROJECT is a Bulgarian consultancy specializing in EU project management, dissemination, and exploitation of research results. Rather than performing technical research themselves, they provide professional support services to consortia — handling communication strategies, policy analysis, and ensuring project outputs reach the right audiences and markets. Their portfolio spans unrelated sectors (health, marine, agriculture, bio-economy), which is the hallmark of a horizontal service provider rather than a domain specialist.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

EUROPROJECT entered H2020 in 2017 with two Coordination and Support Actions (BioReg and UTILE), focused on valorisation and marketplace creation — classic consultancy roles. From 2019 onward, they moved into larger Research and Innovation Actions (LEX4BIO, NAUTILOS) with higher budgets, suggesting they expanded from pure coordination support into more substantive project roles involving policy analysis and exploitation planning. Their most recent and largest project (NAUTILOS) marks a notable shift toward marine and environmental monitoring.

Moving from lightweight coordination support toward higher-budget environmental and marine projects, likely handling exploitation and policy uptake tasks within larger technical consortia.

How they like to work

EUROPROJECT always participates as a partner, never as coordinator, which is typical for service-oriented SMEs that provide specialized work packages rather than leading research agendas. With 64 unique partners across just 4 projects, they operate in large consortia (averaging 16+ partners per project) and do not appear to have recurring partner relationships. This makes them an adaptable team player comfortable integrating into diverse international groups.

Despite only four projects, EUROPROJECT has built connections with 64 unique partners across 20 countries, reflecting their participation in large pan-European consortia. Their network is wide but likely shallow — breadth over depth, consistent with a service provider joining different thematic groups each time.

What sets them apart

EUROPROJECT fills a specific niche as a Bulgarian SME that bridges EU research outputs and real-world uptake — handling dissemination, exploitation planning, and policy communication so that technical partners can focus on research. For consortium builders, they offer an affordable partner from an EU-13 country (helpful for widening participation requirements) with demonstrated experience across multiple H2020 pillars. Their cross-sector flexibility means they can adapt to virtually any thematic area where communication and exploitation support is needed.

Highlights from their portfolio

• NAUTILOS
  Their largest project (EUR 171,850) running until 2025, focused on underwater observation technologies — a significant step up in both budget and technical ambition from their earlier coordination-only projects
• LEX4BIO
  A five-year RIA on bio-based fertiliser policy running until 2024, demonstrating their ability to contribute to long-duration agricultural policy research
• UTILE
  Directly focused on creating a valorisation marketplace for health research results — the clearest window into EUROPROJECT's core business of turning research into market-ready outputs
