The Research & Development Department of J&G is dealing with all the calls for proposals, to search within the wide range of opportunities for those that best suit a project and to walk the path with other partners and municipalities following the 30 years of experience in submitting European proposals. The staff is specialised in writing European Proposals, contacting other partners in order to form a consortium.

Among its staff and Consultants, the Research&Development Department of J&G includes individuals having a long experience in participating to EU Projects as FP5, FP7, H2020, HORIZON, JPI as well as RFCS, INTERREG, LIFE, CREATIVE EUROPE, LIFE LONG LEARNING, ERASMUS.

Once a European proposal call has been approved, the Research & Development Department of J&G takes care of the administrative, financial and legal management of the European project, as well as the dissemination, communication and engagement strategies. We assist our clients in the search for partners, preparation of the grant agreement process and in the development of the project, the coordination of the work and the communication among partners, toward stakeholders and society.

When a proposal is successful, the J&G follows the project throughout its duration, monitors its technical and financial progress through technical reports sent to the relevant public administration, attends consortium meetings, providing templates and guidelines to streamline internal procedures.

In addition, Research & Development Department of J&G has the expertise to execute the dissemination of R&I results and support the transfer of technology and the methods of exploiting R&I results with partners, as well as to develop technical and social innovation tasks.
