Overview Horizon 2020 project consortium: what to look for How to build your network  Partner search tools How to get help: NCP network Communication and contact follow-up

1. Horizon 2020 project consortium: what to look for

Type of participation within a consortium Coordinator Participants Third-parties Beneficiaries Horizon 2020 distinguishes 4 basic types of third-party support The purchase of goods and services Subcontracts Work done by “linked third parties” Other third-party contributions

Horizon 2020 project consortium: what to look for (1) Keep in mind that a right partner Could be from Academia, Industry, SMEs, NGOs, etc. Should be committed Should have skills in a particular field Should ideally (not obligatory) have previous experience in EU projects/international cooperation projects

Horizon 2020 project consortium: what to look for (2) Think about partners within your consortium WELL BALANCED: geographical spread, expertise and type of organisation (Academia, Research centers, Industry, SMEs,…) RELIABLE

Horizon 2020 project consortium: what to look for (3) Success factor leadership: A fully integrated and balanced team Critical mass Complementary, clear roles & functions No overlaps, no duplications Experienced in EU-RTD projects (not obligatory) Knowledge of the reputation of core partners Involvement of SMEs, of consumer organisation, European association etc. (according to the topic and if relevant for the call) Different interests in the project complementing each other

Horizon 2020 project Consortium: what to look for (3) Identify the right partner for a specific topic Read carefully topic description, conditions and documents

2. How to build your network

Learning from successful projects Valorize what you have: use your own existing networks. Best starting point: look at collaborations/links you have at international, European level Participant Portal partner search: https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/orga nisations/partner_search.html Find which institutions and/or consortia have won projects already in Horizon 2020 and/or FP7? Read scientific publications in your field and take note of who is working on it

Existing contacts vs new contacts – pros and cons Type of contact Pros Cons Existing contact Most effective Most reliable and predictable (worked together previously) Often not suitable for a planned project (especially when looking for comple-mentary skills) New contact Easier to find suitable partners for a planned project Several forms of assistance More risky

Being in the (international) right place Attend Networking events Brokerage events Information days Organised by EU relevant actors (European Commission, EEN, NCPs, …)

Ex: Horizon 2020 Health partnering day 2017 http://www. healthncp

Join webinars Look at participants and discover new potential collaborations Examples: Webinars organized by HNN2.0 – SC1 NCP network Webinar The role and duties of a Horizon 2020 Coordinator (March 2016) Webinar Understanding the Socio-economic sciences Integration in Health topics – Writing successful proposals including SSH aspects (February 2016) Examples: Webinars organized by IMI2 on specific topics/calls:

Be pragmatic! Speak to colleagues at conferences and events Invite them to join your project Ask them to join their projects Don’t disappear after the project finishes Be prepared! Don’t show up to networking events without a clear idea of your objectives (e.g. use elevator pitch, catchy PPTs,…)

Be visible! Publish your profile and look for your potential partner in the thematic research partner platforms relevant for issues of your interest…

Pitch: an example https://www.b2match.eu/BEHealthParis/

3. Partner search tools

Partner search via Participant Portal https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/organisations/partner_search.html

Partner search via databases Tip: Always look for new networks! Database of the EU https://cordis.europa.eu/partners/web/guest/home Ideal-ist (ICT): http://www.ideal-ist.eu/partner-search/pssearch NMP: https://www.nmp-partnersearch.eu/index.php 3. SC Energy: http://www.partnersearch.c-energy2020.eu/ 5. SC Climate: http://partnersearch.ncps-care.eu/ 6. SC SSH: http://www.net4society.eu/public/pss.php 7. SC Security: http://www.security-research-map.eu/ EEN (SME): http://een.ec.europa.eu/services/going-international

Example 1: NMP Partner Search https://www.nmp-partnersearch.eu/index.php

4. How to get help: NCP network

How to get help (1) National Contact Points (NCPs) Nationally organised network of experts by subject areas Overview of NCP networks https://www.ncpacademy.eu/useful-links/ Services include assistance in partner search (usually relying on their own databases) Dissemination of calls for expressions of interest and calls for proposals through various channels Organisation of training sessions (good way of meeting potential partners), e.g. NCP Academy workshops and webinars https://www.ncpacademy.eu/upcoming-events/

How to get help (2) Support Projects Framework Programme-financed projects specifically intended to provide support for organizations wishing to participate in the FPs Examples NUCL-EU NEWLANCER

5. Communication and contact follow-up

Communication and contact follow-up Tips for effective written communication Be precise Be specific Use informative data to support your argument Use good formal English (save informal talk for receptions) Avoid fillers and self-praise Know your audience! (Commission or scientific community or wider public)

Communication and contact follow-up How to keep contacts alive Know the right channels: Face-to-face meeting E-mail Phone call, online telephone applications (VoIP), telephone conference etc. Online forum Communicate regularly and reliably (answer on and in time; let your partners know when you are on leave) Remember: words are not enough, show your dedication!

Examples to follow Be precise and reliable during your first project Leave a good impression at partners Get invited to participate in new projects Find similar new partners who search through informal channels

Some more practical tips Be proactive DON’T wait for partners to find you: you should go out and find them Ask for help and use whatever information is available (NCP, online resources)
