WEDO PROJECT INTELLIGENCE MADE EASYSL

Their core work

WeDo is a Barcelona-based consultancy specializing in project intelligence and management for EU-funded research and innovation initiatives. Their name — "Project Intelligence Made Easy" — signals their core offering: helping consortia plan, monitor, and deliver complex multi-partner projects. They contribute expertise in responsible research and innovation (RRI) frameworks, regional development strategy, and project coordination support. Their portfolio spans both social innovation governance and deep-tech health research, suggesting a horizontal project management role rather than domain-specific scientific work.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

WeDo's H2020 involvement is concentrated in a short window (2019-2020 start dates), so dramatic evolution is limited. Their earlier project (SeeRRI, 2019) focused on governance innovation and smart specialisation policy, while their later entries (LIGHT4LUNGS and DigiTeRRI) expanded into deep-tech health research and digital industrial transformation. The jump from pure policy/governance work to participating in a FET nanoparticle-based phototherapy project is notable and suggests WeDo provides horizontal project management services rather than subject-matter research.

WeDo appears to be broadening from social innovation governance into technology-intensive projects, likely offering project intelligence and management services to increasingly diverse consortia.

How they like to work

WeDo operates exclusively as a participant — never as coordinator — across all three projects, with consistent funding around EUR 210-245K per project. They have worked with 28 unique partners across 8 countries, which is a wide network for just three projects, indicating they join large, multi-national consortia. This pattern is typical of a service-oriented SME that provides project management or dissemination expertise to diverse research teams rather than leading the scientific agenda.

Despite only three projects, WeDo has built connections with 28 partners across 8 countries, reflecting participation in sizeable European consortia. Their geographic footprint includes collaborations touching Sweden, France, Austria, and Spain.

What sets them apart

WeDo's distinguishing feature is their ability to serve as a project intelligence and management partner across vastly different domains — from social innovation policy to antimicrobial nanoparticle research. For consortium builders, this means a reliable Spanish SME that can handle project coordination support, reporting, and dissemination without needing deep technical domain expertise. Their Barcelona base and SME status also make them an attractive partner for meeting geographic and company-type diversity requirements in EU proposals.

Highlights from their portfolio

• LIGHT4LUNGS
  A FET project on inhalable light-based therapy for drug-resistant lung infections — a surprising topic for a project management consultancy, suggesting strong consortium-building versatility.
• SeeRRI
  Their largest funded project (EUR 244,621) focused on building self-sustaining R&I ecosystems through responsible research and governance innovation.
• DigiTeRRI
  Addressed digital transformation of traditional industrial regions across three specific European territories (Värmland, Grand Est, Styria), demonstrating concrete regional development work.
