AI tools that encode the evaluator's logic
A growing suite of AI tools built on two decades of Commission evaluation experience. They find the right call, score your draft like the panel, map partners, and identify the talent inside and outside your institution that should be applying. See them all at horizoneurope.ai.

Match your faculty's expertise to open calls automatically and identify who inside the institution should be applying for which instrument.

Funders and agencies
Scout talent across the globe, benchmark proposals and build data-driven support programmes.
The tools
- Call-expertise matching. Upload a profile, a CV or a group's publication list and receive the open and forthcoming Horizon Europe topics that fit, ranked, with the reasoning.
- Evaluator simulators. ERC, MSCA, EIC and Pillar II proposal scorers that read your draft against the real criteria and return an ESR-style report with scores and comments.
- Proposal coaches. Section-by-section assistants trained on what distinguishes funded proposals from the rest: objectives, methodology, impact pathways, work plans.
- ERC Scout and talent identification. Identify researchers across the globe, or inside your own institution, whose track record fits ERC, MSCA or EIC calls, so the research office contacts them before the deadline rather than after.
- Partner mapping. Find organisations with the competences your consortium lacks, based on their funded project history.
Built by an evaluator, not a prompt
Each tool is designed around the decisions an evaluator makes in the panel room and tested against real Evaluation Summary Reports. They are assistants, not authors: the science stays yours, the tools make sure it is presented the way the criteria demand. Institutional access includes onboarding and a usage dashboard. The free OpenERC platform is a good place to start.
Good to know
Are the AI tools a replacement for an expert review?
No. They give you a fast, repeatable first pass and let you iterate before the deadline. The human pre-submission evaluation remains the final check for proposals that matter.
Which calls are covered?
All Horizon Europe instruments: ERC, MSCA, Pillar II clusters and missions, EIC. Coverage of Digital Europe, Erasmus+ and national funds is growing.
Is our proposal data used to train the models?
No. Proposal text is processed for your session only and is not used to train any model. Institutional agreements include a data processing addendum.
Can the tools be licensed for a whole university?
Yes. Institutional licences include unlimited users, onboarding, dashboards and a dedicated support channel.
