SH|RN Consultancy
was founded in 2013 by Stefan Horn and Rudolf Netzelmann.
Before establishing the consultancy, we collaborated in various constellations – across institutions, networks and sectors – delivering a wide range of European, national and local projects, programmes and strategic initiatives.
Today, project development and implementation remain at the core of our work. We operate as curators, project developers, facilitators, evaluators and project managers, supporting organisations throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Our advisory services are grounded in extensive hands-on experience, long-standing professional networks and trusted international partnerships.
We work with a flexible pool of specialised experts who contribute high-level technical and methodological know-how according to project needs.
In addition, we maintain strong and diverse collaborations with partners across almost all EU Member States as well as in Africa, Latin America and East Asia, enabling us to build effective transnational consortia and deliver projects with real international reach and impact.
