Write and manage successful Horizon Europe proposals and projects

Horizon Europe Challenge

Writing Horizon Europe proposals and managing Horizon Europe projects requires collaboration. Word/Excel does not provide efficient collaboration, as versions are scattered across local computers and various mailboxes. E-mailing (parts of) these documents for editing or review results in a less controlled environment with excessive e-mail exchanges.

Although solving versioning problems, a Document Management System (DMS) cannot be called truly collaborative either: documents are downloaded, local copies are created and documents are locked into the system while being edited offline.

Office 365 or Google Docs store changes at document level. There is no overview of changes and progress.

Author-e is an easy-to-learn web-based tool for collaborative proposal writing and project management in Horizon Europe. It contains collaborative authoring, document management, financial management and the possibility to create a dissemination website.

Author-e eliminates the noticeable drawbacks of file-based editing such as e-mailing versions or using a check-in/check-out mechanism.

Author-e provides a clear overview of the progress. Elaborated collaboration functionalities facilitate and simplify writing, budgeting and management.

"Author-e takes out the “horror” of co-ordinating a H2020 application: A pre-structured document empowers your co-applicants and delegates tasks in an accountable fashion for simultaneous work leading in the end to a perfect result."

Prof. Dr. Harald Schmidt, Chairman Department of Pharmacology of Maastricht University.
