Seeking partners

The best way of finding partners is by looking in your own network in your scientific community. Partner-search platforms do however exist as well.

There are specific search platforms for the 7th Framework Programme (FP7). Some of these are for individual sub-programmes. On these platforms you can look for partners for a specific call and find out whether other groups are forming on the same subject.
