A shared collaboration layer for independent partners

Consortium partners often use different systems for documents, communication and internal planning. The coordination challenge is to connect those contributions: who participates, what each partner is responsible for, how milestones relate, and what information should be shared.

As a Collaborative Ecosystem Platform, planCoo connects people and organizations to shared project work. Partners retain their organizational identity while contributing to projects with the appropriate access. Existing communication and document tools can remain part of the workflow.

What planCoo makes visible

Partners, people and project roles

Connect participating organizations and their contributors to the project. The Collaboration Map visualizes relationships drawn from project membership, helping the consortium understand who is working together. Organization invitations and project access are managed separately.

Work packages and milestones

Use project phases for work packages, name milestones with deliverable codes, and assign tasks to participants and roles. A shared Gantt timeline connects responsibilities, dependencies and progress. Explore work packages and deliverables in planCoo.

Intentional visibility and dissemination

Projects start private and can be published intentionally. Public pages can be shared by link without a reader license, and Resources can organize links to externally hosted outputs. These pages support communication and dissemination; they do not guarantee compliance with grant requirements or search-engine indexing. See data governance.

Progress grounded in project data

Project updates and AI-assisted reports help authorized users summarize recorded tasks, milestones, roles and recent activity. Reports support review and communication; they are not automatically published or submitted to funders. Read about AI project reports.

Who it is for

Coordinators, universities, research groups and companies working on multi-partner initiatives can use planCoo to connect planning with participation. For Erasmus+ and other EU-funded collaborations, it provides a day-to-day coordination layer alongside official funding systems. The same approach supports cross-company collaboration and matrix organizations, whether or not the project receives grant funding.
