K&S runs PMOs for publicly funded R&D consortia — proposals, coordination, financial management. 20+ years. Active for many years in clean energy & hydrogen. Looking to connect with coordinators building consortia for CETPartnership Joint Call 2026.
K&S GmbH Projektmanagement is the expert-led operating partner for large, cross-border, publicly funded R&D consortia — from the first call analysis to the final audit. Based in Munich, we have been running complex multi-partner funded R&D projects for over 20 years, with 50+ PMO mandates delivered and €500M+ in consortium budgets managed. What we do We offer five defined services: Consortium PMO (full coordinator-side operations for 10–50+ partner consortia), Proposal Office (call analysis through portal submission), Back-Office Support (flexible funded R&D support on framework), Financial Management & Controlling (budgeting, cost recovery, audit readiness), and Secure Project Infrastructure (on-premises collaboration platforms for IP-sensitive and dual-use work). Clean energy & hydrogen Our clean energy portfolio includes hydrogen aviation, battery systems for hybrid-electric aircraft, and several projects in electrolyser scale-up, AEM membrane manufacturing, hydrogen value-chain assembly, and further battery topics. We have instrument fluency across Clean Hydrogen JU, Clean Aviation JU, Horizon Europe, IPCEI and national BMWE/BMFTR programmes. How we work Every K&S engagement is owned by a named, experienced expert from our team — a practitioner who has run funded R&D consortia before, who faces the client directly, and who is accountable for the result. We are structurally neutral: no exploitation interest in your project results, no conflict between competing partners. ISO 9001 certified, TISAX AL3, GDPR compliant. Why we are here We are participating in the CETPartnership matchmaking to connect with coordinators and research organisations building consortia for the Joint Call 2026 — particularly in clean energy, hydrogen, storage, power electronics, and integrated industrial energy systems. If you are looking for an experienced PMO partner, we would like to talk. www.ks-pm.de · info@ks-pm.de · +49 89 3090 5880
I am one of two Managing Directors at K&S GmbH Projektmanagement in Munich. My background spans physics, mathematics, computer science, and an MBA from Cambridge. Our mission is to make large, multi-partner, publicly funded R&D consortia actually work.
At K&S, we work directly with consortium coordinators, providing Consortium PMO, proposal preparation, and financial management. We have a strong portfolio of clean energy, hydrogen, and semiconductor projects within, amongst others, the following funding schemes: Horizon Europe, Clean Aviation JU, Chips JU, IPCEI, and national BMWE/BMFTR instruments.
I joined this matchmaking event to connect with potential consortium partners, coordinators, and researchers active in clean energy transition — particularly in hydrogen, storage, power electronics, and integrated industrial energy systems.
