MK Radar by MetaKnowledge — EU Funding Intelligence for Innovation Leaders

Sep 25
3 min read

EU funding intelligence, delivered before the window closes.

Most organisations find out about EU funding calls when the call is published. By that time, the consortium conversations have already happened, the positioning decisions have already been made, and the organisations that will win have already started. MK Radar by MetaKnowledge is designed for the organisations that want to be on the other side of that line.

MK Radar is a weekly EU funding intelligence newsletter covering five clusters: Health, AI and Digital, Deep Tech, Space, and Food Systems and Bioeconomy. Each issue is built on the same principle: the organisations that win competitive EU funding are rarely the ones who read the call document first. They are the ones who shaped their proposal logic before the call existed.

Who MK Radar is for

MK Radar is written for innovation leaders, R&D directors, and strategic teams at organisations that apply for or advise on EU funding: research institutions, universities, SMEs in deep tech, NGOs, advisory firms, and public bodies active in the Horizon Europe, EIC, Digital Europe, and LIFE programmes.

If your organisation needs to act on EU funding opportunities before they are formally announced, MK Radar gives you the structured intelligence to do that.

Three tiers, built around what you actually need

MK Radar Free — EUR 0 / month

  • Weekly Strategic Signal: the funding landscape, what has changed, and what it means

  • One highlighted open call per cluster (5 clusters covered)

  • 6-Months Deadlines Radar: upcoming closures in the next 6 months

The Free tier gives you the headline intelligence each week. You see what is open, what is closing, and what the strategic context is. No cost, no commitment.

MK Radar Plus — EUR 5 / month or EUR 50 / year

  • Full Strategic Signal with MK view commentary

  • All open calls across all five clusters, with topic IDs, indicative budgets, and eligibility conditions

  • 6-Months Deadlines Radar

  • Weekly Positioning Tip: one practical step to strengthen your position before the next call cycle

Plus is for teams that need the full picture each week. You receive every open call with the detail needed to assess fit and prioritise: the budget envelope, the eligibility conditions, and an MK view on which calls represent real opportunities and which are crowded or structurally difficult.

MK Radar Pro — EUR 9 / month or EUR 90 / year

  • Everything in Plus

  • Mid-week New Call Alert: direct notification when a relevant new call or material amendment is published

  • Monthly Forward Look: analysis of the upcoming call pipeline and Commission priority signals for the next 12 months

  • Monthly Cluster Deep Dive: detailed analysis of one cluster each month — likely 2027 topics, evaluator priorities, and consortium strategy

Pro is for organisations that cannot afford to miss a new call in the week it opens, and for teams that need to plan 6 to 12 months ahead. The Forward Look and Cluster Deep Dive give your organisation a structural advantage in proposal preparation.

The core principle

Organizations that wait until a call is published are already late.

This is not a provocation. It is a description of how competitive EU funding works in practice. The proposals that consistently win are built over months, not weeks — on the back of consortium relationships, positioning decisions, and impact logic that precede the call document. MK Radar gives you the intelligence to start earlier and prepare more deliberately.
