EditorialLJ Consultancy is led by Lakshmy Arvind, a senior science communication and research impact strategist with over five years of Horizon Europe experience. Based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
As Work Package Lead on multiple EU research projects — including COGNIMAN (GA 101058477) — Lakshmy has built deep expertise in translating complex research into societal impact across diverse European consortia.
LJ Consultancy works exclusively with research consortia, universities and innovation-driven organisations operating within the EU research funding ecosystem.
Writing impact sections, dissemination plans and exploitation strategies that resonate with EC evaluators. Clear theory of change, realistic KPIs, credible pathways to impact.
Leading the communication and dissemination WP — planning, coordinating across partners, producing deliverables, managing budgets and reporting directly to the European Commission.
Building the right audiences — identifying key stakeholders, designing engagement activities, running events and creating lasting communities around research results.
Ensuring research lives beyond the project — exploitation plans, standardisation pathways, policy uptake strategies and sustainable knowledge transfer.
In Horizon Europe, impact drives funding decisions. EC evaluators weight the impact section heavily — yet most proposals treat it as a box-ticking exercise. LJ Consultancy embeds impact thinking from day one.
The result: proposals that score higher, projects that deliver measurable results, and research that creates lasting societal value beyond the grant period.
Whether you are building a consortium, writing a Horizon Europe proposal, or need a WP lead for communication and impact — get in touch.
