What they do
Their core work
K & S is a Munich-based project management and technical consultancy SME specializing in EU-funded research projects in the energy and transport sectors. Their core contribution lies in battery modeling, simulation, and validation — supporting consortia with model calibration, sensitivity analysis, and end-of-life assessment for advanced lithium-based storage systems. They also bring expertise in power electronics and electric drivetrain components, acting as a technical bridge between research partners and industrial application goals.

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
Energy and transport systems
Recent focus
Battery modeling and validation
In their early H2020 phase (2015–2018), K & S worked across broader energy and transport topics — building-level energy storage (SENSIBLE) and modular power electronics (I2MPECT). From 2017 onward, their focus narrowed sharply toward battery technology: first safety and efficiency modeling (DEMOBASE), then superconducting motors (ASuMED), and finally advanced lithium cell modeling with detailed calibration and validation workflows (MODALIS2). The trajectory shows a clear specialization from general energy/transport consulting toward battery simulation and lifecycle assessment.
K & S is deepening its battery simulation and lifecycle modeling expertise, positioning itself as a go-to partner for next-generation battery R&D projects.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: specialist_contributorReach: European13 countries collaborated
K & S operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project. With 51 unique partners across 13 countries from just 5 projects, they consistently join large, international consortia. This pattern suggests they are a trusted specialist contributor that established consortia invite for specific technical or management capabilities rather than a project initiator.
With 51 unique consortium partners spanning 13 countries, K & S has built a broad European network despite being a small firm. Their partnerships are spread across energy and transport research communities, with no indication of geographic concentration beyond their German base.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
K & S combines technical project management with hands-on battery modeling expertise — an uncommon pairing among German SMEs in this space. While many project management firms stay at the administrative level, K & S contributes directly to technical work packages involving model calibration, sensitivity analysis, and end-of-life assessment. For consortium builders, they offer the rare ability to strengthen both the technical and management dimensions of a proposal simultaneously.
Notable projects
Highlights from their portfolio
- MODALIS2Their most recent and highest-funded project (EUR 189,625), focused on advanced lithium storage modeling — represents the clearest signal of their current expertise direction.
- DEMOBASELargest single EC contribution (EUR 194,625) and a pivotal project that marked their shift from general energy/transport work toward dedicated battery safety and efficiency modeling.
- ASuMEDDemonstrates reach beyond batteries into superconducting electric motors for aviation/transport — a high-ambition demonstrator project.
