MINOS-EURONET On-line Brokerage
|
This web page is devoted to brokerage (facilitating matching of partners). The thematic area is structured by FP7/2007 calls. We are using the so-called "MINOS selection" (taken from NMP, ICT and Health themes). This selection is related to micro/nano/biotechnologies but advanced materials are also included. The MINOS selection from FP7/calls is available here. This includes the on-going calls on micro-nanosystems and photonics.
The brokerage can be "face-to-face" or "on-line" (using Internet).
Extensive on-line brokerage is provided by using databases for partner matching. Directly input of these databases here. These databases contain synthetic profiles of research groups, companies etc. and their expression to interest related to specific topics (calls). An advanced search mechanism gives easy access to all information, but in order to in use it, one has to introduce his/her own profile.
Please see useful information: On-line Brokerage web page [...].
