Horizon Europe in 2025

47,000 proposals. One in ten was funded.

Our mission: make access to research funding faster and fairer, for researchers and their institutions. Meritevo finds the calls that fit your track record, gives you a reasoned Go or No-go before you invest weeks in a proposal, and brings your own evidence into every draft.

How we think

Meritevo assumes you are the expert.

Meritevo doesn’t ghostwrite. It is a suite that makes your expertise count for more. Every suggestion arrives as a reviewable proposal you accept, edit or discard.

You're in the driver's seat

When Meritevo drafts a section skeleton, a budget or a first pass, it builds from your evidence and stages every change as a diff you approve. Nothing changes without you.

Your track record, working for you

Past proposals, partners and papers are linked from day one, so your strengths show up where reviewers look.

A sparring partner, not a ghostwriter

Meritevo challenges weak arguments, finds the gaps a reviewer would flag and sharpens your case. It drafts when you ask: section by section, from your evidence, always for your review. You stay the author.

Open by default

LaTeX, real-time collaboration and a wide range of exports. Your work stays portable, standards-based and yours to take anywhere.

How it works

The evidence

What 29,228 Horizon Europe applications show.

For human-written proposals, more elaborate and persuasive language goes with better outcomes. For heavily AI-written ones that relationship inverts: polished prose stops signalling rigour once polish is free. Which is why Meritevo sharpens work you own instead of writing it for you.

~40%

of Horizon Europe proposal abstracts showed signs of AI assistance by the end of 2024, up from about 5% before ChatGPT.

no penalty

Proposals that mixed human and AI writing performed no worse than fully human-written ones, neither on funding nor on score.

-4.1pp

Proposals in the top quintile of AI reliance were funded less often, off a 14.8% base, and scored 0.15 standard deviations lower.

What Meritevo promises: efficiency, time to action and one suite for the whole process. Funding odds depend on the effort and quality of the proposal you assemble; Meritevo makes that work count.

The suite

One suite, from the call to the submission.

Seven connected areas: calls, ideas, proposals, project planner, partners, assets and publications. They share the same evidence, so nothing is re-keyed and nothing is lost between steps. More are on the way.

Funding calls

Know your fit before you commit.

Meritevo surfaces calls the moment they're published and scores each against your track record: Go, Consider or No-go, with the reasons spelled out. Every verdict cites the call text and your past work, so you can check it instead of taking it on trust.

  • Fit scored against your real history, not keywords.
  • Eligibility, deadlines and budget checked up front.
  • Every recommendation backed by citations you can open.

Proposal drafting

Draft in LaTeX. Think with a partner at your side.

Write in proper LaTeX with a structured outline, while Meritevo works in the margin: flagging the baseline a reviewer will ask for, surfacing evidence from your portfolio, tightening the argument. Suggestions you accept or dismiss, never silent rewrites.

  • Native LaTeX or a familiar document editor, your choice.
  • Margin notes that read like a critical reviewer.
  • Evidence pulled straight from your papers and past wins.

Project planner

Plan the budget next to the proposal.

Personnel costs come from real tariff tables, in Germany TVöD and TV-L, with travel and on-costs alongside them. Funder rules are checked live, so a per-category threshold is flagged before submission rather than after.

  • Personnel from TVöD/TV-L tables, not estimates.
  • Per-category funder thresholds checked as you plan.
  • AI drafts a first budget and reviews your numbers, every change staged as a diff you approve.
Real-time collaboration

Your whole team in the document, at once.

Co-author live in open formats, LaTeX, a document editor or Markdown, with shared cursors, inline comments and Go/No-go decisions in one place. No dead ends, no emailing versions around, no merge headaches.

Shared cursors

See co-authors type in real time, each with their own colour and name.

Inline comments

Discuss a sentence where it lives, resolved threads stay with the document.

Decisions on record

Go, Consider or No-go, with a rationale your whole team can see and trust.

Also in the suite

Two more places Meritevo does the groundwork.

Ideas

Ideas that arrive already substantiated.

Develop a project idea grounded in your own evidence: every claim is cited back to your papers, your past proposals and your partners. By the time the idea reaches drafting, the argument is substantiated rather than asserted.

  • Every claim cited to a paper, proposal or partner.
  • Thin evidence flagged while the idea is still cheap to change.
  • Carries straight into the proposal outline, nothing re-keyed.
Partner network

The right consortium, from people you already know.

Meritevo maps your partners, their competencies and how closely you've worked together, then suggests who closes the gaps a specific call demands. Build a credible consortium without weeks of inbox archaeology.

  • Suggestions matched to the call's missing competencies.
  • Relatedness scored from real collaboration history.
  • One click to add a partner straight into your draft.

Open standards

Built on open standards. Yours to take anywhere.

Meritevo speaks the formats research already runs on. Write in LaTeX, collaborate in real time, and export to whatever your funder, your institution or your co-authors need.

Your data and your documents remain portable by design. If you ever leave, you take everything with you in standard formats.

Data & trust

Your ideas stay yours. Our platform is hosted in Germany.

Unpublished ideas, draft proposals and partner data are the most sensitive material a research group has. Meritevo treats them that way.

Hosted in Germany

The platform and your documents run in German data centres, operated under German and EU law, GDPR included.

No training on your data

Under our default zero-retention setup, your content is never used for training: prompts and outputs are not stored. The one exception is image generation in EU workspaces (privacy policy).

EU-sovereign AI options

Meritevo supports multiple AI and LLM providers, so you choose where inference runs, right when you create a workspace. Default models are hosted in the US with zero retention; EU-sovereign options via TensorX and Nebius Token Factory are available and follow GDPR-related retention policies instead.

On-premise on request

Organization customers can run Meritevo on their own infrastructure. Talk to us about deployment options.

FAQ

What to know before you start.

How does the free trial work?

Register with your email and confirm it, no card needed. You can use a Free workspace with 50 AI Credits a week or try a personal sandbox for 14 days. The Free workspace continues on its Free allowance; the sandbox expires and is permanently deleted. Export anything you want to keep before it expires; sandbox data is not copied automatically.

Which funding sources does Meritevo monitor?

Today: the EU Funding & Tenders Portal (Horizon Europe, EIC, MSCA and other EU programmes), the German Förderportal des Bundes (BMFTR and other federal programmes) and the DFG. The list grows continuously; state programmes and foundations are next on the roadmap. If a source you rely on is missing, tell us.

How is the fit score computed?

Each call is compared against your workspace context: past proposals, publications, partners and your research profile. The verdict, Go, Consider or No-go, arrives with reasons, and every reason cites the call text and your own material so you can verify it.

What happens to my data?

It stays yours: under our default zero-retention setup your content is never used for training, and the platform is hosted in Germany. The one exception is image generation in EU workspaces, as the privacy policy explains. Our default AI models run in the US under zero-retention terms; for EU-sovereign inference we work with TensorX and Nebius Token Factory, which follow GDPR-related retention policies instead. Import and export in standard formats are always possible.

What exactly is an AI Credit?

A simplified currency for AI effort. Heavier actions, such as a full fit analysis or a drafted budget, cost more than light ones. Credits let us keep costs in check without imposing intransparent limits, and top-up packs never expire.

Can Meritevo help me write a research grant proposal?

Yes. Import your existing proposals as DOCX or PDF, sync publications via ORCID and add your partners. When you ask for a draft, Meritevo works from your evidence. You review each suggested change and can accept, edit or discard it. You stay the author. The richer your workspace context, the better every score and suggestion becomes.

What happens if I cancel?

If you cancel at the end of your billing period, your paid plan stays active until then. Afterwards, an active organisation licence can cover your workspace. Without one, AI access locks; your workspace does not automatically switch to Free. If the workspace is suspended, Owners and Admins can export its data until the deletion deadline shown in the app.

Can I switch between Solo and Team?

Yes, any time. Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately and are prorated on your next invoice.
