How I can help
Programme and partners
Identify funding routes to assess and prepare a clear technical enquiry for a university or laboratory.
A plan for the next steps
Agree on stages, resources and preparation scope. Where needed, a full application can be developed with a specialist grant consultant.
Fees depend on the agreed project scope. Funding decisions are made by the programme’s awarding body.
UKRAINE ↔ POLAND
Have a research idea or a team?
I welcome conversations with Ukrainian researchers and universities about joint food research, product development and educational projects in Poland.
A few practical questions
Can a company based in Ukraine contact me?
Yes. We first establish where the company is registered and where the project will take place. Some programmes require operations in Poland; Ukrainian partner participation depends on the specific call.
Does every new recipe qualify for a grant?
Not automatically. A routine product range update and a research project have different aims. The concept needs to explain the novelty, the technical problem and the work needed to address it.
What should I send for an initial discussion?
Briefly describe the product or process, your company or institution, the project location, its current stage and the help you need. Start with a general outline without disclosing a confidential recipe.
