International partners

At the international level, the range of potential partners is many times larger than at the national level. Therefore it is even more important to define exactly the objectives and derived from these to define the partner profile. This definition, jointly worked out, allows us to address in the international network systematically these organizations which help you to attain your goal. Such a selection requires a long-time experience and varies according to the funding institution. Each funding initiative has its own research goals, which shed new light on the strategic importance and the rating of candidates and consortia.
We are looking for partners not only for academic research collaboration but also for private sector research contracts.

Approach

Our brokerage is not static, but a constructive networking for our clients. It is guided by the foresight to make your organization known in those circles that are of strategic interest to you. At the same time our service is focused to provide specific partners and contracts according to the jointly agreed objectives. We spend the time that is needed and are therefore able to offer you the respective quality.

Conditions

The successful partnering and brokerage of jobs can also be quick, but building up popularity and image within sustainable networking needs its time. We draw attention to you and your interests in forums, conferences, social events but also very targeted at potential partners.
Our work is comprehensive, sustainable and success-oriented, therefore you pay only in case of success. We differentiate two forms of partnering:

• Partnering into a consortium for Collaboration Projects (e.g. European Framework Programme 7, FP7)
• Partnering to a principal (e.g. an industrial partner) for a research mandate.

The partnering fee is € 3'900.- (excl. VAT.). Beyond that we receive a commission of 3% of the turnover resulting from the successful partnering, up to a maximum turnover of € 1’000’000, hence to a maximum commission of € 30'000.-. The turnover commission will be reduced by the fee paid before for partnering.
