How we engineer proposals
Plenty Group drafts EU funding proposals to be funded — not just submitted. The work is call-driven from the first page to the last: a proposal is built to answer what evaluators score, and structured so that winning the grant flows straight into running the project.
001
Framed from the call
Every proposal starts from the call's own logic — scope, award criteria, thresholds and the conditions an evaluator scores against. We work the published text and what sits between the lines, so the proposal answers what is evaluated rather than what is easiest to write.
002
Built to be evaluated
Objectives, work packages, effort, budget and impact pathway are designed to hold together under scrutiny. Sections are written against the criteria, not around them, and the consortium is positioned so each partner's role is legible to a reviewer.
003
Carried into delivery
A funded proposal should not be rebuilt from scratch on day one. The structure we write — partners, work packages, deliverables, milestones — hands straight into project delivery in EU Project Manager, with no translation loss between winning the grant and running it.
Common questions
- What does Plenty Group do?
- Plenty Group engineers competitive EU funding proposals end to end — Part B, objectives, work-package design, effort and budget, impact pathway and consortium positioning — for Horizon Europe, the European Defence Fund and related instruments.
- What is a Seal of Excellence?
- The Seal of Excellence is a quality label awarded by the European Commission to project proposals that pass all of a call's evaluation thresholds but cannot be funded because the available budget is exhausted. It signals that a proposal was assessed as high-quality and fundable, and can support a search for alternative funding.
- Which EU programmes does Plenty Group work with?
- Primarily Horizon Europe — including collaborative research and innovation actions and the WIDERA widening strand — and the European Defence Fund. The methodology is call-driven, so it adapts to the criteria of the specific programme and topic.
- How do you work with Plenty Group?
- By engagement. Access to this workspace is arranged when Plenty Group holds a contract to write the proposal, or when Plenty Nexus takes a beneficiary role in the consortium. Scope and terms are agreed up front, per call.
