Partner Search Tool for M-ERA.NET Calls
History of the PSF:
The NMP Team partner search facility (PSF) was funded by the European Commission in the NMP Team project. The project itself ended in late 2020 and thus has the official support for this Partner Search Facility. Over its course it attracted almost 5000 users and hosted more than 370 offers for cooperation since its relaunch in 2017.
However, the PSF is far from dying, it will remain the partner search tool for the M-ERA.NET calls. In the duration of M-ERA.NET 3, the cofunded call 2021 and the non-cofunded calls 2022, 2023 and 2024 have been launched and closed.
The current call is open since 4th March 2025. It is now possible to create cooperation offers for the M-ERA.NET topics.

Partner Search - Partner Offer – How does it work?
This partnering tool supports potential applicants for the M-ERA.NET in finding partners and building a consortium for a project proposal. It can be used in the following ways:
Step 1: In order to submit your own partner offer or partner search you will have to register: Registration
Step 2: Next to providing your contact details, you should give a brief description of your organization. It is important that you provide some key words describing your field of activity and that you specify your interest and the experience and expertise you/your organization has to offer in relation to the listed topics of M-ERA.NET. In order to guarantee topic specific posts, selection is limited to up to three topics per offer. If more than three topics suit your interest and expertise, you will have to make several posts.
Step 3: Definition of partner offers/searches:
- Partner Offer - Researchers who offer their research expertise and who seek for collaboration in possible project consortia and
- Partner Search - Researchers or consortia with a definite idea for a project who are looking for further partners to complement the expertise scope of the consortium
Step 4: Find possible partner offers/searches:
- Search List of Partner Offers posted by others
