For participation in the EU Framework Programme, in general, several partners from different member states or EU-associated countries are required (please find the exact terms for participation in the call texts of the specific programme).

There are several other services to help you find cooperation partners in research and development projects:

European Partner Search Databases
A further possibility for partner search are other European databases, where you will find interested organisations and their expertise – you can search by type of programme, type of organisation, country, or other criteria. Mostly, you can also publish your own profile.

CORDIS Partner Search Database (Partner search for all areas of the 7th Framework Programme)

Competence Catalogues
These are catalogues of Austrian companies, research organisations, research groups or individual researchers, which are active in a specific topic/theme. Here, you can review profiles of Austrian organisations with experience in a wide range of international cooperation projects.

Austrian Life Sciences Directory (a directory of Austrian companies and research organisations in the field of biotechnology, pharma and medicine)

Please find an overview of all partner search databases and competence catalogues on the FFG website of FP7.
