European R&D grant calls in plain English. An estimate of how likely your project is to succeed. A list of organisations worth partnering with. Half an hour for a decision instead of 15 hours clicking through official PDFs.
A tool for both sides of the grant table — pick who you are:
FOR THOSE HEARING ABOUT EUROPEAN GRANTS FOR THE FIRST TIME
Every year the European Union distributes roughly €13 billion to companies, universities, and research teams developing new technologies, medicines, materials, and services. The main programme is called Horizon Europe and it runs from 2021 to 2027. These grants are not loans — if your application is approved, you receive the money and keep it. A typical award is in the range of €2 million to €10 million per project.
The catch is that finding the right call means working through hundreds of pages of official PDFs where every other paragraph is written in EU jargon (think: HORIZON-CL3-2026-SPACE-01-52, or "Topic under Cluster 4, Destination 3"). Saying "I want a biotech grant" is not enough — you need to know which specific pillar, cluster, and topic is currently open, who has already won similar projects, and how strong the competition is likely to be.
Most organisations handle this by hiring a grant consultant — typically for €5,000 to €25,000 per application. navigrants.eu does the pre-application research for you (= "is this call relevant to us? what are our odds? who should we partner with?"). Writing the actual proposal still takes a specialist — but deciding whether it's even worth submitting takes half an hour instead of a week.
Built by a former R&D Director at a mid-sized Czech tech company — see Who's behind this below.
Whether you're an R&D manager, a grant consultant, or a university grants officer — chances are you've been in at least one of these.
Download the official PDF. Open ten browser tabs. Build a comparison sheet in Excel. End up still unsure if it's worth submitting. Next week — same circus for the next call.
Which consortium makeup has been winning recently? Which partner profiles improve the odds? Who's already funded in this topic, and where? Without that context, you're drafting blind — and hoping.
EU Funding & Tenders Portal added a "topic suggester" recently. The things you actually need — partner mapping, success prediction, trend tracking — still aren't there.
No magic, no "AI revolution". Just three practical features that save you days of work every month.
"Biotech SME, deadline 60+ days, budget under €5M." Get a ranked list in 12 seconds — instead of four hours of clicking. No need to know EU jargon and codes.
A 0–100 score based on 150,000+ past projects. Concrete list of what pushes the score up and what pulls it down — plus five similar funded proposals for reference. Not a prophecy. Recognising patterns in ten years of grant history.
Find partners — universities, research institutions, SMEs — who've succeeded in similar projects recently. By sector, geography, and history of successful applications. Instead of LinkedIn hunting and conference small-talk.
"I ran R&D at a mid-sized Czech tech company. I personally drafted our OP TAK application — 44 million CZK (≈ €1.8M), scored 61/100, top quartile (meaning we were among the top 25% of applicants that round). I spent hours manually reading through official reports to understand what actually works. I built this tool because I needed it myself and no one had done it properly. It's not a consultancy service. It's a tool. €49/month, cancel anytime, no sales call."

We use 150,000+ projects funded in the last 10 years under Horizon Europe (the current 2021–2027 cycle) plus its predecessors Horizon 2020 and the earlier Framework Programmes. We look for patterns: which consortium types win, which budget ranges are approved, which countries succeed in which topics. Your score is "how well your profile matches what historically wins." It's not a guarantee — it's a better-than-guessing estimate.
From CORDIS (the official European Commission database of all funded projects) and the EU Funding & Tenders Portal (the official portal for currently open calls). All public, all licensed for use. Updated daily. No scraping tricks.
14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. After that, the subscription renews monthly, but you cancel with one click in Settings — no phone call, no questions why.
We deliberately don't expose names of individual researchers, their contacts, or personal profiles. We work only at the level of projects, organisations, and themes. No "top researchers" database exists. Your own data (email, billing) is under standard GDPR protection — you can export or delete it anytime.
In the first phase (launch summer/autumn 2026) only Horizon Europe. TAČR for Czech Republic is coming shortly after launch. Other national agencies depending on customer demand.
The opposite. Most consultants using navigrants serve 2–3× more clients in the same time. What costs you 15–20 hours today (research, partner search, scoring) becomes half a day. More clients, higher hourly rate, same calendar. The Agency tier has 3 team seats.
A bonus for those working with AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Continue). navigrants also works as a tool inside an AI agent — you can ask it questions conversationally instead of clicking through a web UI. Most users don't need this — the web dashboard works on its own.
From a university or a larger organisation?
For situations with a longer internal approval process, we have materials ready to help you make the case internally. Write to [email protected] and we'll send you a "University & Enterprise pack" — an ROI brief in whatever format your procurement team prefers.
Most organisations applying for a European grant don't write the proposal themselves. They hire a specialist — typically for €5,000 to €25,000 as a fixed fee, or 4–8% of the awarded amount. On a €2.5M project that's a six-figure consultancy bill.
Before that investment, it makes sense to know two things: what your project's realistic odds are and what the application needs to contain. That's exactly what navigrants gives you — a preliminary score of your profile against historical winners, and a detailed checklist of requirements for your specific call.
When you arrive with a prepared briefing template your consultant can work from directly, you pay less and the application is stronger. When a low score tells you it isn't worth pursuing, you save a lot of money. This isn't a competitor to your consultant — it's a tool that makes you an informed client.
