Leadership and Growth Leverage the recent appointment of a new President to offer executive-level advisory services, governance reviews, and strategic research management partnerships to institutions seeking leadership continuity and international alignment.

Open Access Enablement Capitalize on ESF’s ALMASI project to propose managed open access publishing services, alignment with Plan S objectives, and support for nonprofit research output coordination across European partners.

Network Management Target universities, research councils, and networks needing facilitation of multi-country research programs, coordination, and communication; offer project coordination, management, and evaluation as a turnkey service.

Sustainability and Compliance Highlight ESF’s commitment to best practice guidelines (European Charter of Researchers, Code of Conduct for Recruitment) as a selling point for institutions aiming to strengthen governance, researcher development, and compliance programs.
