Consortium Building
with governance by design.

The right partners, aligned from day one.

Consortium composition is one of the most important — and most underestimated — factors in Horizon Europe proposal success. Evaluators assess not just whether the right expertise is present, but whether the consortium has the governance architecture to actually deliver on its commitments.

Insight Reality™ brings a structured approach to consortium building: identifying partners based on genuine complementarity, qualifying them rigorously, and designing the governance architecture that keeps the consortium coherent from proposal submission through to project closure.

What this service delivers.

• Partner identification — mapping the ecosystem of potential partners across institutions, sectors, and geographies that best fit your call and concept
• Partner outreach and engagement — first contact, relationship building, and initial alignment conversations
• Partner qualification — assessing each potential partner against the requirements of the call, the needs of the consortium, and their genuine capacity to contribute
• Consortium governance design — designing the decision-making structures, communication protocols, and accountability frameworks from the start
• Work package allocation — defining each partner's role, responsibilities, and contribution clearly and without overlap
• Consortium agreement preparation — supporting the legal and operational agreements that govern partner relationships
• Cross-sector and cross-border coordination — managing the complexity of multi-country, multi-institution partnerships

A global partner network, built over years.

Insight Reality™ maintains active relationships with research institutions, technology companies, public bodies, NGOs, and industry partners across Europe, the UK, North America, and beyond.

This means that when you need a specific type of partner — a clinical research organisation in the Netherlands, a defence technology SME in Germany, a public health authority in Scandinavia — we can often make that introduction directly, significantly accelerating the consortium-building process.

Coordinators who need the right team around them.

This service is for project coordinators and lead applicants who know they need strong partners but are not sure where to find them, how to qualify them, or how to design the governance structure that will keep the consortium functioning under the pressures of a live project.

It is also valuable for organisations who have been approached to join a consortium and want an independent assessment of the fit before committing.
