The project story
Context
The platform is published on the cifn.eu domain, while the logo displays "CIFN.ro". The menu includes an "AI assistant" presented as "Answers from verified sources".
The approach
The homepage explains the journey in three steps — checking eligibility, understanding each call, choosing how to proceed — and emphasises neutrality towards consultants.
The solution
The platform includes a catalogue of opportunities grouped by programme, with filters by programme, type, status, region and minimum amount, a calendar of deadlines, tools for checking eligibility and which expenses can be reimbursed, a directory of consultants and a community area.
Features and characteristics
Eligibility check
The tool starts from the company's CUI (or from three questions) and shows the calls for which the company appears to be eligible.
Filterable catalogue of opportunities
Calls are grouped by programme and can be filtered by programme, funding type, status, region or county and minimum amount.
Deadline calendar
A dedicated page shows the call deadlines on a timeline.
Reimbursement checker
A separate tool helps check which expenses are eligible for reimbursement.
Directory and resources
The platform includes a directory of consultants and auditors, guides, a glossary, articles and case studies.
Community
The catalogue flags calls with active community discussions, and the menu includes a forum section.

What stands out
- The main entry point is the company's CUI, not a generic list of programmes.
- An explicit neutrality message: the platform states that it does not sell positions in the catalogue and does not impose consultants.
- An AI assistant presented in the menu, with answers "from verified sources".
- Serif typography for headings, a navy palette with gold and red accents, and a dark theme switch.
