2011: 40+ partner proposal coordinated by an Italian company in the field of digital cultural content creation. This was a large and complex project and a very substantial document when finally finished. The proposal was submitted on time and was successfully retained for funding by the Commission.
2011: We reviewed and provided inputs to a substantial project combining semantic web technologies with language translation tools for an Irish university. The proposal is currently under evaluation.
2011: We reviewed and provided inputs to three projects in the nano-technologies area for an Irish university. All three are currently under evaluation. 2010: We reviewed and provided extensive inputs to an ambitious digital humanities proposal written by a team at an Irish university. The proposal was substantially rebuilt, and was subsequently successful.
2010: We co-wrote a large pan-European proposal in the area of digital cultural heritage and e-Infrastructures for an Italian government agency. The project was duly selected for funding and is now underway. This was the fourth in a series of successful proposals for this client.
Pintail occasionally works with clients who are partners in EU projects and require specific expertise which we can offer. In such a scenario we are not partners, but provide a specific service within the context of a project. Our track record includes writing deliverables “from scratch”, re-crafting rough deliverables to bring them up to EU standard, custom R&D, and the facilitation of best practice activities.
We continue to be retained by the Commission as evaluators on their programmes. We have provided evaluation services in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
