Funding calls from many sources,
one catalogue in 5 languages
Grant Radar is our grant monitoring service. A daily job collects calls from EU portals and funder sites, cleans them up and publishes searchable cards in English, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and German.
From a funder page to a translated card
Each stage runs on its own and records what it did, so one broken source does not stop the rest.
Extract
A scheduler runs every morning at 06:00 Warsaw time. It reads the EU Funding & Tenders Portal API and source-specific adapters such as Interreg, Vinnova and EEA. A registry of about 300 EU sources decides which ones are due, and every run is logged.
Normalise and deduplicate
Titles, amounts, deadlines and eligible countries are brought to one model. A grant that arrives from two sources is stored once, and calls whose deadline has passed are marked closed.
Classify
Each call gets a type (research, innovation, culture, education, social, environment, health), a status and the funder's country, which drive filters and statistics.
Translate
A translation job sends new texts in batches to our local translation service and stores the result per language next to the original. The service runs on our own hardware, so grant texts are not sent to a cloud LLM.
Load and serve
Cards land in the database and appear in a dashboard with full-text search and filters by type, status, country, applicant type and amount. Grant pages are rendered on the server, so search engines can read them.
Language follows the reader
The grant text is shown in the interface language. There is no separate translate button: switching language switches the card.
What runs today and what is still a plan
Running
Daily collection from the EU portal and adapters, deduplication, closing of expired calls, translation into 5 languages, public grant cards, search and filters behind login.
Not yet
Many registry sources are only probed until a dedicated adapter exists, and sources with anti-bot protection are skipped. Long descriptions and conditions are translated in a separate, slower pass.
