What Eurice GmbH does

Eurice GmbH, legally "European Research and Project Office GmbH," is a privately held German knowledge-based consultancy founded in 2000 and headquartered in Sankt Ingbert, Germany, with a second office in Berlin. The firm provides professional services for EU-funded collaborative research projects, primarily under the Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 frameworks, serving as project coordinator, innovation management partner, access-to-finance advisor, and communication/dissemination provider for European research consortia. Its core service lines are Access to Finance, Innovation Management, and Communication, delivered across five thematic ecosystems: Health, Food & Nature, Industrial Technologies, Quantum & Digital Infrastructures, and Society.

The business model is professional services fee-for-project: EURICE is engaged as a paid consortium partner or coordinator within EU grant-funded projects, with multi-year contract durations tied to project lifecycles. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales and direct engagement with European research institutions, universities, and corporates (e.g., Roche, Sanofi, Max Planck, CNRS, Fraunhofer, Oxford). Named reference partners span pharma/life sciences, energy research, and academia, with reference citations for 14+ institutions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is project-specific.

EURICE is the core operating company of the EURICE Group, which also includes RISE d.o.o. (Croatia, innovation services), Infinira Ventures (venture building), and Future8 (societal value creation). The group is owned and controlled by founder/management (Managing Director Jörg Scherer) with no disclosed external investment. As of 2026, the Berlin office was doubled in size and now hosts all three sister entities alongside EURICE, reflecting an explicit strategy to consolidate the group's operations in a single capital-city hub adjacent to EU institutions and partners.
