Brain Tank – Complete project management support for companies

Brain Tank is a consulting firm that helps companies turn ideas into well-prepared and successfully funded projects. Our approach is practical, clear, and tailored to your goals. Behind everything is an experienced team led by Ismail Šehić, who has many years of experience in EU projects and project management.

 

What our service includes (as a full package or as separate parts)

1) Company profile and key analysis of opportunities

  • We prepare a company profile that fits EU and other donor calls.
  • We do a key analysis of project opportunities: mapping relevant programmes, topics, and call types for your sector and capacity.

2) Finding the right call

  • Targeted search for calls that match your profile, strategy, and timeline.
  • Short “fit & risk” check: priorities, minimum consortium, thresholds, deadlines.

3) Help with the concept note

  • Structure the idea (goals, results, indicators).
  • A short, clear narrative, ready to validate with partners and move to a full application.

4) Company registration on European Commission platforms

  • Support for EU Login, OID/PIC registration and, if needed, LEAR validation.
  • Technical guidance through the relevant portals (Erasmus+ & ESC, Funding & Tenders).

5) Creating the full project proposal or supporting your team

  • Full project proposal (narrative + annexes) or “co-authoring” together with your team.
  • Defining work packages, work plan, indicators, dissemination, and sustainability.

6) Market research for a specific proposal

  • Quick or in-depth market and stakeholder analysis for the project topic.
  • Insights that strengthen relevance and feasibility for evaluators.

7) Budget creation

  • A budget fit for the project, applicant, and partners (including lump-sum logic where applicable).
  • Clear cost structure, assumptions, and compliance with call rules.

8) Partner search and consortium building

  • Partners for a finished application or collaborators from the first phase (co-creating the idea).
  • Aligning roles, collecting mandates, and preparing internal agreements.

9) Connecting with partners in Europe and worldwide

  • Access to our network of organisations and companies.
  • Facilitation of first meetings, setting expectations, and communication channels.

10) Training for your team

  • Short training (1–2 days) or intensive training (3–5 days), tailored to your needs.
  • Topics: proposal writing, WPs and indicators, budget, evidence and reporting.

11) Evaluation after results are published

  • Detailed post-evaluation review: where points were lost, which evidence/narrative to improve.
  • Action plan for the next deadline or alternative calls.

 

Flexible engagement model

You can choose a full package (from idea to submission) or individual modules, fully adapted to your company’s needs.

 

How to get an offer and next steps

We cannot send an offer without a meeting, because each offer is custom-made for your company and the complexity of your goals.

In the initial meeting we define:

  • your goal and timelines,
  • available resources,
  • the most relevant calls and a realistic path to a competitive proposal.
