To be filled in by Proposer:
Proposal Name
Simple “Drop-down” menu to choose Call and Topic
Project Description
Partner Profile Sought
Looking for a Coordinator?
Proposer Experience in H2020
Colleagues to CC on EOI
Relevant NCP Details
Submit/Save Draft
You will arrive to an empty form to be filled out as your partner search publication please fill in all categories:
Full proposal name: If you do not have a project and looking to join a consortium you can write your expertise in short. i.e. Fast charging sustainable infrastructure for EV
Call identifier: click on the arrow and choose from a drop down menu the correct Call – this will influence the choices of topics given
Topic: click on the arrow and choose from a drop down menu the correct topic – according to the call all the open topics will be shown
Type of action+ Evaluation scheme+ Closure date will be filled out automatically according to topic
Project description- make sure to fill out as much information possible to best explain your project or the type of project you are looking to join. Make sure you don’t give out information that will give others competitive advantage. Relevance to the Scope is very important, if you are out of scope you should find the correct topic for you.
Since the goal is to find good partners - the better you describe their skill and expertise the better the EOIs in your PS will be! If you know only Academy is relevant to your needs, state it! It will only help you get better results.
If you have prior experience in H2020 or other R&D Programs- this is the place to emphasis this 

Once the proposer has filled out the partner search form and submitted it, it is automatically transferred to the relevant NCP for a review.

11. Step 2 – National Contact Point PS check criteria
The identity of the proposer is given/disclosed
The proposed project is within the scope of the Work Programme
The proposal description hides key competitive information
The outline has the correct level of detail
The partner search is relevant for the Transport community
The specific call and topic are clearly identified
The consortium foreseen (existing + sought partners) is reasonable for selected topic and instrument
The description of the “Partner Profile Sought” is well targeted
The proposer is not a consultant looking for clients
→ Publishing the Partner Search by the NCP will make it available for all website viewers and they can start publish EOIs for this partner search proposal

12. Step 3 – EOI (Expression of Interest)
Once PS is published – users in the system are welcome to express their interest in partnering with the proposer.
Only after the proposer approves the interested party, the identity of the proposer will be revealed.
