Independent consultant specialising HEU proposal and consortium building, particularly for Cluster 6.
Bringing over 10 years of hands-on experience in designing, writing and developing competitive R&I proposals for Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, particularly across Clusters 4 (Digital, Industry and Space), 5 (Climate, Energy and Mobility) and 6 (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment). Expertise includes project concept development, strategic positioning, work package design, impact pathways, stakeholder engagement, consortium development and proposal coordination.
I combine extensive EU funding experience with specialist knowledge of food innovation, circular economy pilot solutions and place-based innovation. I connect R&I with practical implementation (Danish pilots), bringing together universities, businesses, public authorities, civil society and local communities to bring tangible solutions.
Through established collaborations and representation of two Bornholm-based organisations, I can provide perspectives and stakeholder connections from an island context, with particular relevance to sustainable food systems, local food value chains, rural development, community resilience and living-lab approaches.
Areas of interest and potential contribution to Horizon Europe consortia include:
-
HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-BIODIV-06: Living labs driving transformative change via knowledge integration and inclusive governance
-
HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-FARM2FORK-07: Towards commercialization of food systems microbiome solutions.
-
HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-CIRCBIO-01-two-stage: Deploying circular systemic solutions through living labs in cities and regions (Circular Cities and Regions Initiative topic).
-

-
HORIZON-CL6-2027-02-COMMUNITIES-01: Strengthening rural communities' resilience to shocks.
The entities I represent are particularly interested in joining ambitious, interdisciplinary Horizon Europe consortia as a proposal development partner, innovation and stakeholder engagement specialist, or facilitator of place-based demonstration and pilot activities.
