THE BRITISH COUNCIL

THE BRITISH COUNCIL

The British Council commissioned Schuman Associates to perform a strategic analysis of the impact of the EU Referendum on the access to funding for the UK’s Education and Culture sectors. The work done by Schuman Associates was of outstanding quality for its clarity in quantitative and qualitative terms, and offered insightful proposals to address this impact. This no doubt stems from their extensive experience of the EU, as well as their astute understanding of the British Council requirements in this study.

Bulgarian Alliance of the Technology Industry

The Bulgarian Alliance of the Technology Industry (ATI) worked with Schuman Associates to draft its positions and proposals to the connectivity chapter of the RRF Programme for Bulgaria.

Schuman Associates’ expertise combining State aid rules, EU broadband guidelines and the rules around the new RRF budget was essential in drafting a complex application in the very short timeframe.

The unique perspective of how other countries and stakeholders address these issues was a key strength that Schuman Associates brought to the team.

The Foundation for Heritage Sciences (FSP, France) initially contacted Schuman Associates to provide support on the preparation of a Horizon Europe project for the coordination of cultural heritage research in Europe, which they did wonderfully, helping us to formulate and clarify our ideas, organise them in a coherent way, and make them as convincing as possible in order to draft a successful and impactful proposal.

Their contribution has been much more than simple support and supervision, as they brought a lot of meaningful inputs, contributing with the drafting and the management of the partners consortium, demonstrating great flexibility and agility, and anticipating our needs throughout the whole proposal preparation process. They were always available, and our collaboration with them has greatly contributed to the success of this proposal.
