OPEN
RESEARCH
The global research pendulum has swung towards open scholarship. UNESCO and the EU have all made strong commitments to funding and supporting open research. Importantly, it is also a requirement for Horizon Europe. There is considerable evidence that openness doesn’t just support accessibility and equity, but also innovation. The Canadian Tri-Agencies have also recently reevaluated their open access policies.
HORIZON EUROPE
At Visnea, we are proud to bring nearly 15 years of direct EU experience to building new EU – Canada partnerships and projects. We have successfully provided support with a variety of applications and projects ranging from electronics and quantum to health and climate research. We bring together knowledge of the Canadian ecosystem,h a vast network of partners in Europe and direct experience of EU funding to best support Canadian projects and applications.
RESEARCH COACH
Researchers are experts in their fields, but sometimes struggle to communicate the importance of their work to non-experts. I have a track record - including successful ERC Advanced grant applications - of assisting top researchers in a variety of fields (biomedical sciences, engineering, humanities) in distilling the most pertinent aspects of their work for grants applications and communication activities. I can ensure that your work receives the attention it deserves, translating into funding and research program sustainability.
