National partners

At the national level a researcher obtains the necessary overview of the relevant programs and potential partners after a few years of experience. Our services here are therefore of particular interest to emerging entrepreneurs, start-ups and new entrants in the Swiss research landscape. But even long-established researchers benefit occasionally from inspiring contacts beyond their own discipline. In any case, it is important to formulate the objectives and to derive from there an exactly defined profile for the partner search. Depending on the industry, also the national network requires a targeted approach. We are looking for partners not only for academic research collaboration but also for private research projects.

Approach

Since several years, we are actively involved in various national networks and we have the right contacts to make your organization known in the circles that are of strategic interest to you. Hence we can effectively broker partners and jobs according to the commonly agreed objectives. We draw attention to you and your interests in forums, conferences and social events but also very targeted at potential partners.

Conditions

Our brokerage is comprehensive, sustainable and success-oriented, therefore you pay only in case of success. For national and international partnering, we differentiate two forms:

• Partnering into a consortium for a research project (e.g. SNF, CTI)
• Partnering to a principal (e.g. 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.
