About

Strong research ideas fail every day, not because they lack quality, but because support, strategy, or proposals fall short...

Research Lighthouse works with researchers and research institutions to strengthen funding strategies, improve grant proposals, and develop effective research support.

Led by Olaf Svenningsen, Research Lighthouse draws on decades of experience from within universities, funding systems, and research management. The approach is practical, independent, and tailored to your context.

If you are preparing a proposal, rethinking your research support, or navigating change, you are invited to get in touch.

How It Works

Working together

1. An initial conversation

We start with a short, no-obligation conversation about your situation — whether you are preparing a proposal, rethinking research support structures, or exploring new directions. The purpose is simple: to clarify what would be most helpful.

2. Defining the context

Based on that conversation, we agree on the form and scope of support. It may involve focused proposal feedback, strategic advice, workshops for a team, or a more in-depth analysis. The approach is always tailored to your context.

3. Focused, practical support

The work itself is collaborative and concrete. The aim is not theory for its own sake, but clarity, stronger proposals, better structures, and well-considered decisions.

The first conversation is always free of charge.
