How to track EU calls, funded projects and potential partners in one place

Preparing a strong EU proposal starts long before the call opens. You need to know which calls are coming, what has already been funded on the topic and which organisations could join your consortium. That information exists, but it sits in different places, and gathering it again for every new topic takes time. 

Why EU funding information is hard to follow

Three questions come up every time a team prepares a proposal, and each one usually means a different source: 

• Which calls fit us? Calls are published on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, across several programmes, each with its own work programme and calendar. 

• What has already been funded? Past and current projects are listed in CORDIS, with their partners, deliverables and results. 

• Who could we work with? Partner information is spread across the Portal’s Partner Search, brokerage events and project websites. 

Without a shared tool, this often means copying results into spreadsheets and repeating the exercise for every topic and every client. In Tuesday’s guide on how to find partners using funded-project data, we set out the manual method. This article looks at how to bring it into one place. 

What a single view should let you do

If you are comparing tools, or deciding whether you need one, these are the questions to ask: 

1. Does it cover the programmes you work with? Horizon Europe is only one source of EU funding. Teams often also follow Digital Europe, LIFE, Erasmus+ or the European Defence Fund. 

2. Can you search calls, funded projects and organisations together? Moving between separate databases takes time and makes it easy to miss connections. 

3. Does it show who works with whom? Collaboration history is one of the most useful signals when building a consortium. 

4. Can you save searches and come back to them? Calls open and close throughout the year, so the same search needs to be run again. 

5. Where does the data come from? For funded projects and organisations, the reference is the European Commission’s own data.

How Kronis Search brings it together

Kronis Search is a grant intelligence database that brings EU calls, funded projects and organisations together in one place.

How it works

1. Choose what you need to look for: projects, organisations, calls or programmes. 

2. Kronis Search scans EU funding sources continuously, so new calls and changes are picked up without checking each portal yourself. 

3. Build your personalised reports, with direct access to your saved searches. 

What you can do with it

• Search one database of funded projects, partners and organisations, integrated with the European Commission’s CORDA data: more than 97,000 organisations and 27,000 active EU projects (data as of 16 October 2026). 

• Filter by country, organisation type, programme or topic, and see each organisation’s activity level, project count and current work. 

• Profile organisations to see who is active in your field and who they partner with. 

• Match calls against your organisation’s profile with AI relevance matching. 

• Set up your own alerts with the Report Generator, based on your saved criteria. 

Programmes covered

Horizon Europe, Horizon 2020, Digital Europe, CERV, Erasmus+, Creative Europe, the European Defence Fund, LIFE, the Research Fund for Coal and Steel and the Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) instrument. Call monitoring will extend to Interreg and the EIT KICs in the near future. 

Who it is for and how to access it

Kronis Search is built for innovation managers, EU project offices, research organisations, SMEs and funding consultancies that need to find the right calls and partners early. 

It is currently in early access, on request, for existing Kronis customers. Paying Kronis Matcher users and Kronis Finance licence holders can request access at no extra cost. 

Key takeaways

• Calls, funded projects and potential partners usually sit in three different sources, which makes proposal preparation slow and repetitive. 

• A single view should cover your programmes, search all three together, show collaboration history and let you save searches. 

• Kronis Search brings EU calls, funded projects and organisations into one database integrated with the European Commission’s CORDA data. 

• It is in early access for existing Kronis customers.
