The Health and Europe Centre has more than 20 years’ experience in large-scale research and service improvement collaboration within the health sector. This includes cross-sectoral partnership building, project development and project management. We have successfully bid for and managed over €70 million of EU projects between 2014-20. Our role as a convenor of different organisations covering the NHS, local government, third sector organisations, SMEs and universities, to focus on finding co-created solutions to specific issues, together with our expert lead partner skills, creates dynamic project partnership and saves valuable time and resources.

Established in UK the late 1990s, and newly established in Ireland, as not-for-profit organisations, our speciality is externally funded project development and support for the health and social care sectors. We provide an end-to-end service in terms of developing an idea, finding an appropriate funding stream, building the consortium, writing and submitting the bid, and then project managing the project on approval, ensuring it runs on time and on budget. Through this in-depth work, we have developed a unique and profound understanding of how health and social care systems operate and how innovation can be practically transferred and implemented between countries. Our experience and expertise can benefit health and wellbeing, social care or educational organisation – whether statutory or voluntary.
