Project objective: To provide rapidly deployable, practical HR solutions in the V4 countries (Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia). Toolkits will be developed in five key focus areas (models, guidelines, workshops, conferences, best practices, and a cross-border HR knowledge community). These will be made available through a searchable, multilingual online portal (besthrpractices.org), enabling companies not just to design better HR operations, but to implement them. Knowhouse Consulting leads the project: coordinating the overall concept, shaping the system logic, and ensuring a shared methodology (e.g. the HR Sprint workshop format).
The goal of SMEnergy is to make the transition to renewable energy faster and easier for SMEs. The project establishes a pilot service-centre network, supported by a transition roadmap and a shared database/marketplace, helping SMEs find solutions, partners, and guidance for their green transition. The project was initiated and co-designed by Edina Kálmán, who is responsible for the Hungarian implementation through PC-Trend Ltd. and also coordinates the development and integration of the professional methodology. As a cooperating partner, Knowhouse supports PC-Trend in reaching SMEs and in marketing activities. One of the project’s main domestic communication channels is the Formáció Group platform operated by Knowhouse.
HR+ is an international project that elevates HR from an administrative function to a genuine business and change leadership role. Based on joint research and European experience, it offers a modern HR leadership profile and a practical training programme addressing the digital, green, and social challenges faced by knowledge-intensive organisations. In Hungary, the project is represented by PC-Trend. Edina Kálmán is responsible for local professional content and for engaging companies and professional stakeholders, with the support of Knowhouse.
The aim of the project was to accelerate the spread of industrial automation and mechatronics in the border region, thereby increasing the competitiveness of SMEs. A cross-border programme connected universities, companies, and young professionals through workshops, company visits, conferences, and ten practical case studies, supporting the development of a learning ecosystem. On the Hungarian side, the professional work was led by the Csongrád-Csanád County Chamber of Commerce and Industry, while the Knowhouse/Formáció team built the operational framework of the community and facilitated the programme.
The project aimed to reframe business failure not as a stigma, but as a learning experience, ensuring that honest but bankrupt entrepreneurs in the Danube region receive a real “second chance” to restart. Partners developed training and mentoring solutions and provided practical support for relaunch and transformation (redesign, restructuring, acceleration). Implementation was carried out under the coordination of IFKA as lead partner. During a certain period of the project, Edina Kálmán worked as head of the IFKA (lead partner) project team: coordinating work, maintaining focus, and ensuring that international cooperation resulted in tangible, workable development logic and tools at national level.
The project aimed to improve the effectiveness of accelerator programmes supporting SMEs. Partners shared European best practices, learned from each other, and translated these insights into concrete development plans for accelerating the SME sector. This resulted in national and regional strategies enabling SMEs to grow faster, access funding more easily, and enter international markets in a stronger position. Within the project, Knowhouse’s Managing Director represented IFKA as a partner and Head of the Organisational Development Group, effectively supporting the development of the Hungarian strategy and strengthening domestic SME acceleration activities by translating international experience into locally applicable development logic and tools.
SOCIAL SEEDS was an Interreg Europe project aimed at improving the measurement, evaluation, and development of social enterprises – based not on intuition, but on shared, transparent criteria. This enabled decision-makers and development organisations to support social enterprises using more consistent tools. The project consortium was led by IFKA (lead partner), together with several European partners. Edina Kálmán, Managing Director of Knowhouse Consulting, contributed to the development of the project concept as part of the professional team that designed the project’s logic and core methodology, enabling IFKA to successfully deliver the implementation as consortium leader.
