ABOUT VIOLA HAY
I help organisations turn ambitious ideas into funded, high-impact realities.With deep expertise in European funding programmes and international collaboration, I work at the intersection of strategy, innovation and delivery, supporting organisations, researchers and consortia to successfully navigate complex funding landscapes, providing training and upskilling and bringing transformative projects to life.I have extensive experience designing, developing and delivering EU-funded and internationally funded programmes, from early-stage concept development through to consortium building, proposal strategy, stakeholder engagement and project execution. My strengths include:• Strategic leadership across European funding programmes (including collaborative, multi-country initiatives).• Building and coordinating strong international consortia across academia, industry and the public sector.• Shaping funding strategies that unlock growth, innovation and long-term impact.• Stakeholder engagement across diverse cultural, institutional and geopolitical contexts.• Turning complexity into clarity and funding requirements into opportunity.I am motivated by work that fosters innovation, cross-border collaboration and positive societal impact. I believe international cooperation is most powerful when it brings the right people together around a shared ambition, and I take pride in helping make those connections happen.
