ESFRI Strategy & Proposal Advisory

From scientific ambition to a credible European infrastructure strategy.

Building a European research infrastructure requires more than a strong scientific case. It requires a compelling strategic vision, a credible governance model, a clear European dimension and the ability to demonstrate long-term sustainability.

SEPO supports research communities and emerging infrastructures in developing and strengthening their strategic positioning for

ESFRI processes and European infrastructure development.

This can include strategic framing, governance design, stakeholder positioning, proposal development and preparation for critical evaluation stages.

Best suited for: research communities developing an emerging infrastructure, preparing an ESFRI proposal or repositioning an existing initiative.

Format: tailored advisory, depending on the stage and needs of the initiative.

Investment: from €7,500

Inclusive Leadership & Management

Developing more inclusive ways of working, deciding and leading.

Organisational transformation is ultimately experienced by people.

How leaders listen, make decisions, handle disagreement and create space for different perspectives has a direct impact on trust, collaboration and organisational resilience.

SEPO supports leaders and teams in developing more inclusive approaches to leadership and management — particularly in complex, diverse and distributed environments.

The focus is not on adopting a predefined leadership model, but on developing greater awareness of relationships, power, decision-making and the conditions in which people can contribute.

Best suited for: leadership teams, managers and organisations seeking to strengthen inclusive practices and collective capacity.

Format: tailored advisory, workshops or individual accompaniment.

Investment: tailored to the scope and duration of the engagement.
