Information Managment & Dissemination Consultancy
European Commission projects have mandatory information management and dissemination requirements. These represent an important element in the evaluation of submitted projects. Frequently, however, project partners have little experience in this important area - and no resources to develop the needed know-how.

Information Management

I offer consultancy services in the project-internal capture, management and use of project-related information. Through involvement in the early stages of project development, I am able to develop the information management strategy in such a way that it can a) slot into the final proposal, and b) be quickly implemented if the project is approved.

Transparent Workflow

Many years of experience in the creation of information management and workflow tools for European Commission projects allows me to put together systems that makes the flow of work and information in a project transparent - both to the project partners, and to the Commission.

Information Dissemination

Having facilitated the information dissemination strategies and tools for numerous European and international projects over many years, I can create Information Dissemination Strategies that slot directly into project proposals to the Commission, and can be effectively and quickly implemented once the dissemination phase of the project is reached.
