About the project
The Long Covid (LCS) project, coordinated by HUS, is the first of its kind aiming to clarify the factors and mechanisms for the development of LCS.
Impact of the project:
The impact is not only of scientific significance, but also economic and societal. The project aims to reduce the healthcare burden at least by 30% due to COVID-induced disability across all age groups by predicting the LCS at an early stage. It will also help to prevent the progression of COVID-19 illness to LCS and reduce the percentage of LCS patients by 20% in the future. This research work will also help educate and empower LCS patients and manage them in a holistic manner. From societal perspective, the project aims to increase hope and strength to tackle this disease among the LCS patients.
Funding instrument Horizon Europe
Spinverse’s role
Specialised in innovation management and management consulting, Spinverse will lead various activities in the project such as identifying ideas and needs to develop new products, solutions and services, as well as ensuring intellectual property protection for them. Spinverse also supports the project with day-to-day project management, helping the project run smoothly throughout the project’s duration of four years.
Spinverse supported the project in preparing the successful funding application.
In large pan-European projects like ours that connect several multidisciplinary groups, it is important to have an experienced and reliable partner such as Spinverse. During an EU grant proposal preparation, there are numerous technical details where a scientist or a physician is totally out of their comfort zone. We really appreciated the timely help and encouragement from the Spinverse team to reach our goal.

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
