FP7 Partner Search

Do you have a project idea but lack some partners?

Would you like to join an FP7 project as a partner and want to advertise your availability?

A key part of any good quality FP7 project application is having a suitable consortium of project applicants.

Usually, project consortia must have a minimum of three partners from three European countries; this is not always the rule and sometimes a specfic country will be named that should be included in the consortium. Details concerning such rules and regulations may be found in the Work Programme document for the relevant theme and the EU FP7 governance documents that you will find on CORDIS.

A good consortium is one in which the project partners compliment each other  and tt is clear logical and obvious to the evaluators what each partner is delivering in the project. 

The best partners for your project are the ones that you already know (and trust) through your business network. So think carefully about those people and organsisations you know, or know of, that can deliver what your project requires.

Enterprise Europe Scotland as part of the Enterprise Europe Network has access to a network of partner information exchange. If you are leading a project and need partners, simply make a formal request for a partner BBS form . Once approved the form will enter the system and be available to any of the 4000 network members across Europe. 

You can also search for partners or for partner requests in projects using the links below, organised by different national and thematic organisations.
