WIDERA, the Widening participation and strengthening the European Research Area part of Horizon Europe, optimises for something harder to measure than scientific output: building lasting capacity, connecting advanced and emerging institutions, circulating talent and disseminating results across whole regions. A typical Widening consortium gathers many partners across several countries, runs training schools and secondments, often distributes cascade funding to third parties, and reports to the Commission on a strict periodic rhythm.
Workspace creation is bound to the Grant Agreement number and organisation, so the timeline, budget tables and reporting cycle match the rules of the call from day one. Sign-in is role-aware: Admin, Team Leader, Work Package Leader and Member each see a view that fits their responsibilities.
The dashboard shows the project month against total duration, partner reports in for the current period, deliverables complete or due soon, budget execution and an AI risk summary, with a progress bar per work package. The 48-month Gantt lays out work packages, tasks, partner leaders, milestones and deliverables on a single timeline with the current month highlighted. Deliverables are grouped by status and tied to a work package, leader and due month, with the nearest deadlines surfaced first.
The reporting screen tracks the technical and financial reports for every partner in a single grid per period. The coordinator sees who has submitted, whose report is partial and who is missing, with one-click reminders and running totals - turning a manual audit into a live overview.
The shared calendar is typed for EU projects (steering committee, work package, training, dissemination, review) with iCal export. The partner directory shows each organisation, country, role and work-package involvement with country filters. The document library keeps project files tagged by work package, including reporting templates. Kanban boards hold the operational layer of week-to-week work alongside the strategic plan.
