I MAS D Y EMPLEO SERVICONSULTING SL

Their core work

I MAS D y Empleo Serviconsulting is a Spanish SME whose name ("I+D y Empleo" — R&D and Employment) signals its core business: bridging research training programs with professional and labour market outcomes. The company participates in Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks as an industry partner, contributing consulting expertise on career development, industry-academia transfer, and professional placement for early-stage researchers. Both of their EU projects focus specifically on dementia care and technology, suggesting a niche positioning as an industry-sector consultant for research training programs in the health and assistive technology space. Their value in these consortia is likely the employment pathway, industry mentoring, and sector knowledge they offer to PhD-level trainees working on dementia solutions.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Their first project, INDUCT (2016), left no retrievable keywords, suggesting a general or supporting role in a broad dementia-technology training network. By the time DISTINCT began in 2019, their contribution was explicitly tagged with "technology" and "dementia care," indicating a sharper and more recognised specialist position within the consortium. The trajectory is narrow but consistent — rather than diversifying sectors, they have doubled down on the same problem domain, building cumulative knowledge in dementia-focused research training over roughly seven years.

They are consolidating a niche as a go-to Spanish SME partner for health-technology MSCA training networks, specifically dementia; any consortium in this space seeking an industry partner with prior ITN experience and an employment-pathway mandate would find them a natural fit.

How they like to work

This organisation has only ever joined as a participant, never as a coordinator, which is typical for SMEs in MSCA-ITN consortia where academic institutions lead. They operate in relatively large, multi-country research networks — both their projects involved substantial international consortia. There is no evidence of repeated partnerships with the same organisations, suggesting they are recruited for their sector profile rather than pre-existing network loyalty.

Across two projects they have worked with 19 distinct partner organisations spanning 9 countries, a broad reach for a two-project portfolio, reflecting the inherently international character of MSCA training networks. Their geographic exposure is European, though their home base and likely primary client relationships remain in Spain.

What sets them apart

Very few Spanish SMEs can claim repeated participation in MSCA-ITN consortia focused on dementia and assistive technology — this firm occupies an unusual intersection of R&D consulting, employment services, and health-technology training. For a consortium builder assembling an MSCA network that needs an industry partner with specific dementia-sector credibility and a mandate around researcher employability, this organisation brings a track record that most generic consultancies cannot offer. Their Valladolid base also provides Spanish geographic representation, which is often a consortium requirement.

Highlights from their portfolio

• DISTINCT
  Their largest funded project (EUR 501,810) and the one that generated explicit domain keywords, marking their most substantive and best-documented contribution to dementia-technology research training.
• INDUCT
  Their entry into H2020 and into the dementia-technology MSCA niche, establishing the sector positioning they then built on in DISTINCT.
