Proposers to four calls will be helped to find appropriate partners and coordinators for their project by the Ideal-ist network. This network provides a support for the project proposer, enhancing the chances for a positive evaluation by finding appropriate partners. In addition this generates valuable feedback from a Quality Team that can be used to improve the whole project idea.

With help of the experienced Quality team, every partner search will be checked against predefined criteria. It will then be published with a Quality Label in more than 60 countries worldwide, so more than 60.000 contact addresses can be reached.

Also for the three Public-Private Partnerships "Factories of the Future" (is targeting the manufacturing industry), the “Green Cars" (initiative for the automotive sector) and the "Energy-efficient Buildings Initiative" (is targeting the construction sector at large) Ideal-ist nominated a Quality team to assist Proposers in searching for partners.

These Cross thematic calls will end on the 3th of November; the fifth call closes on the 26th of October 2009.
