Changes are being made to the European Commission’s Participant Portal over the coming months with major changes due to be finalised by 2020.
One of the first updates is a Partner Search facility. This allows you to find potential partners for your research project, based on organisations already registered on the Portal and are in receipt of funding. As part of this, there is a useful overview of the organisation and its interaction with European funding schemes. Access is also given to top level information about funded projects. This complements the other partner searches already available. Why not use this feature to find out who else is being funded in your research area?
Going forwards, the Portal will provide access to more than Horizon 2020 and a few other schemes. It is planned to become a single-point of entry to EU funding.
More news will be posted on the Participant Portal and by UKRO – sign up to receive alerts through BU’s membership.
