LOOKING FOR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS? 

There are different ways of searching for new partners across Europe and beyond. Please learn about some of them:  

1. Almost all networks (Era-Nets, JPIs or European Partnerships) provide its applicants with a Partner Search Tool that can be found on their websites (check out the example of the CHANSE programme or Neuron calls (Neuron Cofund 2 Calls); 

2. For the calls being launched by European Partnerships it is worth to check out the partner search tools available under each call description at the Funding and Tenders Portal. 

3. There are many thematic brokerage events where you can present yourself and reach out to new people. Some of them are presented at the Polish National Contact Point webpage. There are some matchmaking meetings which give you the opportunity to register and present yourself on Partner Search even after the event (check out an example of Cluster 1 brokerage event).

4. Prepare your own Expression of Intrests (EoI) presenting your field of expertise, experience (also in grant management), capacity of your organisation and your research interests. Send out your EoI among your contacts, publish it on the website and social media. You can also send it to PolSCA Office so we can distribute it across Europe through our partners. For some good examples please check out EoI example 1  and EoI example 2.
