Several platforms offer online partner search tools to facilitate networking and collaboration among universities, research organisations, SMEs and industry across Europe and around the world.

Partner Search for Organisation Profiles

Partnering events are an efficient way to make contact and meet different organisations at international fairs or conferences.
