Partner structure & search

Establish the right partnership

Partnership in EU projects

• A requirement in most EU programmes

• Can be regional/national or international

• Reason: EU‐added value through cooperation!

• But EU projects are not JUST about exchange and cooperation

Which are the right partners?

Consider the right mix:

• Level of experience (“EU‐experts” / Newcomers)

• Thematic and geographic balance

• Too few / too many partners

Justify the partner selection in AF:

• Added‐value for the partner and for the project

95

Where to find the right partners?

Partner search:

• KEEP database (Interreg): www.keep.eu

• ICT NCPs network: www.ideal‐ist.eu

• Lists of supported projects/beneficiaries (EU programme websites)

• Partner search tool & project idea fair (e.g. programme websites)

• Join networks (e.g. on Linkedin, etc)

• Successful projects and organisations in strategies, action plans, etc
