Ex-ante evaluation of the financial instrument "Climate Protection Loan Fund" of the ERDF programme of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2014-2020

With their know-how and experience in the area of EU structural funds and environmental and climate protection, the TAURUS ECO Consulting team supported us efficiently and convincingly. Both the technically sound analyses and the differentiated recommendations based on them were clearly structured and plausibly supported. In this way TAURUS ECO Consulting made a valuable contribution to the decision-making process regarding the optimal use of ERDF funds for climate protection support in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Support for the application for a graduate school

Thank you very much for your short-term and helpful application support. By structuring our project idea, working out the red thread and the dynamic moderation of the team meeting, you have helped us a lot in an important phase of the application process. This is exactly what we needed. At first we were not sure whether we would be able to complete the proposal in the remaining time, but now we have done so and are very satisfied with the submitted proposal

Municipal guide to the reorientation of EU cohesion policy from 2014

Both the print and the online version of this pilot by the EU subsidies have become a very good support for the municipalities and have even exceeded the requirements of the project. The very reader-friendly and well-structured presentation of the research results is so convincing that the print version was sold out in no time. But it is not only the results of the research project that are inspiring, the participatory project process involving the later user groups of the municipal guide is also a good example of transdisciplinary research.

Feasibility Study 'Smart Lab for Future Mobility Chassis Systems'

Thank you very much for your short-term preparation of the feasibility study for our planned Smart Lab. You were very successful in summarising the economic aspects and the typical evaluation criteria for the federal state in addition to the complex technical correlations. Your ideas and comments helped us to sharpen the planning of our project at central points. With the telephone calls and personal discussions during the on-site appointments, which were prepared by you in a structured and target-oriented manner, you were able to reduce our own expenses during the preparation of the study

Investigation of possibilities for future transnational cooperation in the cooperation area Northwest Europe post 2020 for Rhineland-Palatinate

We say thank you for the good and trustful cooperation in the context of this study. TAURUS ECO Consulting has supported us together with another office to analyze the specific needs of Rhineland-Palatinate and thus to derive our input and recommendations for action for the elaboration of the new generation of the transnational Interreg B program for the cooperation area "Northwest Europe". Especially the contribution to the design of future funding and support approaches for Rhineland-Palatinate actors in Interreg programs was valuable for us. The cooperation was very professional and well-founded at all times. We also liked the adherence to deadlines and the flexible adaptation to process-related new challenges at short notice.
