Draft, collaborate and sign Grant/Consortium Agreements, NDAs and more. Clause assistance with AI, versioning and redlining, obligation tracking, and tight integration with Grant Mind & Grant Hub.
Contract workflows in Horizon Europe span multiple documents, partners and iterations. Drafts circulate by email, redlines are hard to reconcile, signatures require yet another tool, and IP registers live elsewhere. Legal risks and obligations are difficult to track across the consortium—slowing down kick-off and audits.

Prepare signature envelopes, route to all parties, monitor status and archive signed PDFs with hash and certificate trail.
Register background at kick-off (ownership, access rights) and foreground as it emerges (inventors, protection, licenses). Link to KERs in Grant Impact.
