Grants by country

Grants by who you are

How we work

Every day we check the main official sources of the 28 countries; for each country you see which sources we read and how often. The cards are written with AI from the source data only and checked automatically, with the date of the last check. The official call prevails.

How the method works

Before and after

  • Before: Many websites, in different languages After: One list, for you
  • Before: PDFs in bureaucratic language After: A card you read in 30 seconds
  • Before: Deadlines found too late After: Calendar and alerts
  • Before: Fear of making mistakes After: Checklist and mistakes to avoid
  • Before: No idea if it is worth it After: Difficulty and chances stated

For consultants: build the budget on the cost items the call actually pays.
