How do I use the Partner Search Service?



Ideal-ist provides you with a sophisticated Partner Search Service.

The Ideal-ist Network creates opportunities to find partners to build a consortium for your ICT projects.


Partner Search - General Information

One of the unique features of Ideal-ist is the Ideal-ist Quality Procedure applied in Quality labeling the Partner Searches

You will find three ways of participation
    • Proactively launching your own Partner Search, in those cases when you already have a project idea and need to complete your consortium.
    • Proactively launching a take-up action for a competitive call, in those cases where you look for additional partners in your running IP or NoE project.
    • Subscribing to the ideal-ist mailing lists to be informed of any opportunity arising to join a forming consortium in your areas of interest, then checking your compliance with the partner profiles sought and filling in an Expression of Interest to apply.

Ideal-ist provides you a personal space to store and manage all the information related to your partner searches and the responses generated, keeping at any time your privacy.


Advantages of the Ideal-ist Partner Search Procedure

The Ideal-ist Partner Search Facility will help you finding partners for your ICT project idea under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union (2007-2013), working in a proactive way: your National Ideal-ist Representative (in cooperation with the ideal-ist Quality Team) will help you better focus your partner search in a ICT Call and objective-specific way before publishing and distributing it to the more than 50 partner and associated ideal-ist countries (gathering more than 55,000 international contacts interested in the ICT Programme, through our mailing lists). This will provide you the following benefits:

  • Higher chances to succeed the evaluation, as your proposal will be quality checked and better focused on the ICT objectives.
  • Continuous support from the National Contact Points Network during the whole life of the process.
  • Fast way of completing your consortium, as you will receive the first replies within days - or even hours!
  • The service provides an average of 36 responses per Partner Search, coming from all parts of Europe (or even the world) and types of organizations.
  • You will be able to close the Partner Search as soon as you find appropriate partners, avoiding the reception of further responses.
  • The success rate for finding appropriate partners is 92%.


For any further information please refer to your National Ideal-ist Representative.
