      EU project proposals have become a bureaucratic endurance test.

      The application process is painfully long, the evaluations often opaque, and rejection letters can feel almost dismissive. Even when a proposal succeeds, far too much of the budget disappears into compliance, coordination, reporting, controls, and audits.

      When roughly 60% of resources go to administration rather than impact, something is fundamentally broken.

      Europe cannot afford to turn innovation into paperwork. We need a serious reform of EU funding: simpler applications, transparent evaluations, proportionate controls, and more funding directed to actual delivery.

In drei Monaten werden wir Modelle auf dem Niveau von GPT 5.5 Pro und Opus 4.8 haben, die für die Mehrheit der Aufgaben mehr als ausreichend sind und viel Geld sparen, wenn man eine Flotte von Agenten betreibt.
