The agentic operating system for research, innovation and funding
Accelerate your journey from idea to impact. Discover funding, develop proposals, build partnerships, track intelligence and explore the research graph, with an Agent working across all of them. Open to researchers, teams and organisations worldwide.
Built in Europe. Designed for researchers worldwide.
From one applicant to an entire organisation
Researchers & Independent Innovators
Never miss a call you could win. ArkSearch matches on your field, stage and eligibility, ArkAssist scores your draft before the evaluator does, and ArkSphere lists the official National Contact Points for your programme.
Teams & Research Groups
Work as one group, not five accounts. Shared spheres, drafts passed between members, one invoice with roles and permissions, and a consortium drawn from the whole field rather than the names already in your inbox.
Organisations & Businesses
See what your organisation is really doing, find the funding gap before the field does, and know who keeps winning in your sector across four decades of publicly funded projects.
What ResearchArk does
Opportunity Intelligence
Find the calls you could actually win, in minutes, not weeks.
Agentic Grant Application
From a call to a submittable application, scored before you submit.
Open Consortium Matchmaking
Partners from the whole field, not just your address book.
Real-Time Funding Intelligence
See where the funding is going, and when calls actually appear.
Global Research & Innovation Knowledge Graph
Four decades of who funded whom, as a navigable network.
Governed Research Execution
An Agent that researches, drafts and proposes actions, with your approval.
Everything research runs on
Six products, one system: discover funding, develop proposals, build partnerships, track intelligence and explore the research graph, with an Agent working across all of them.
ArkSearch
Every funder's calls, in one search.
Funders publish on their own sites, in their own formats, on their own schedules. ArkSearch pulls government, foundation, corporate and institutional calls into one place and matches them to your field, your stage and your eligibility, so what you see first is what you could actually win.
- Matching on your research profile, not just keywords
- Recommendations weighing expertise, eligibility and fit
- Side-by-side comparison of requirements and fit before you commit
- Smart Alerts for new matches, deadlines, best-fit grants and saved searches
ArkAssist
Write to the criteria you're judged on.
Pick a call and Studio assembles the application around it. It deep-reads the call's pages and linked attachments, works through a concept note, the required documents and a funder-aware budget, validates everything against the call's rules, and finishes with a mock evaluation on the Horizon Europe rubric. You answer the questions only you can answer.
- Templates aligned to the funder's own requirements
- Drafting help on structure, style and clarity as you write
- A structured, funder-aware budget with justification for each line
- Requirement validation and a mock evaluation with fixes, before submission
ArkSphere
Find partners beyond the people you already know.
Consortia usually get built from whoever you already have an email address for. ArkSphere opens the European Commission's own directory of organisations and researchers, shows who is actively looking for partners, and lists the National Contact Points whose help on your programme is free.
- Partner suggestions based on what people have actually worked on
- Consortium building against a specific call's requirements
- Shared spaces for cross-border, cross-sector teams
- National Contact Points by country and thematic area
Pulse
See where the funding is going.
Pulse turns the funding landscape into something you can read: which programmes are growing, which topics are drawing money, when calls actually appear, and where research is running ahead of the funding reaching it.
- Live dashboards tracking funding volume, trends and momentum across programmes
- Thematic intelligence on the topics and disciplines drawing money
- Deadline calendars, seasonal patterns and the months that carry the most calls
- Research Frontiers: topics gaining momentum, and those left comparatively underfunded
Graph
Four decades of who funded whom.
Graph maps four decades of publicly funded research as a navigable network: European framework programmes from FP1 to Horizon Europe, EU cohesion spending, and national funding from Canada, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US, so you can see who worked with whom, which organisations keep winning, and how smaller companies get in.
- European framework programmes from FP1 to Horizon Europe, plus EU cohesion and national funding
- Collaboration networks showing how organisations and researchers connect
- Funding-pattern and research-trend analysis across four decades
- Organisation, programme, topic and sector views, including SME participation
Agent
An assistant that acts, with your approval.
Agent sits inside ArkSearch, ArkSphere and Graph as well as its own workspace. It researches with sources you can check, and when it wants to do something, such as track a deadline, link a call to a sphere or send a connection request, it proposes the action and waits for you. It remembers what you're working on, and you can delete that memory whenever you like.
- Multi-step research and funding workflows in one conversation
- Drafts proposals, summaries and reports while you review and refine
- Proposes actions across ArkSearch, ArkSphere and Graph for you to approve
- A weekly briefing on new funding, partners and trends, plus schedules and an inbox for work that runs while you are away
