Building Research Partnerships – in Europe
 
An effective way to find European researchers who are active and searching for research partners in a particular field is to browse the following “partner search engines.” It is possible to search by research topic, field of expertise, discipline and institutional affiliation.

Canadians can also add their own profiles to European “partner search engines.” Europeans frequently use them to find partners for international projects. International participation is required for all funding from the European Commission.

“Partner search engines” covering multiple fields are operated by the following organizations:

European Commission: CORDIS Partner Service:                     http://cordis.europa.eu/partners-service/search_en.html
