About EU Project AB
EU Project AB is an independent consultancy led by Principal Consultant Ainars, providing senior-level Horizon Europe expertise across the EU and UK.
I work directly with clients on grant strategy, proposal development, evaluation readiness and project delivery. When required, I collaborate with a trusted network of experienced research grant professionals to ensure the right expertise is available for complex or large-scale projects.
EU Project AB does not offer bid writing or ghostwriting services. All support is advisory, review-based, or training-focused, empowering clients to develop and own their proposals.
This structure allows clients to benefit from personalised support combined with scalable expertise – without the overhead of a large consultancy firm.
