How to participate

The completion of a qualified, detailed profile on this online platform is a requirement for active participation. Once activated, your profile will be visible for other activated participants. From then on, will you be able to contact other participants and to find potential project partners who match your requirements.

Some hints on how to write a convincing profile:

  • Information is key to successful meetings: The more profile boxes you fill in, the better - it improves your chances of attending relevant and successful meetings.
  • Choose the call topics you are interested in.
    From then on, you will be able to select the topics you are interested in (this is also a requirement for participation) and then start a detailed search for suitable project partners also interested in the concrete topics you will have chosen.
  • As concise as possible, as long as necessary: Try to find a good average length for your profile.
