NMP TeAm launches the NMP National Contact Points (NCP) website and Partner Search Tool
The NMP TeAm is pleased to announce the launch of the official NMP NCP Network website (http://www.nmpteam.com/) with the embedded NMP specific partner search facility. Both of these tools are important resources for all the National Contact Points of the 27 EU member states, associated states and third country contacts working in the thematic priority “Nanosciences, nanotechnologies, materials & new production technologies (NMP)” of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), as well as their clients.
Nmpteam.com is a complete project-based management and communication tool that enables the partners of the NMP TeAm to effectively manage partner searches, communicate with each other and track their project activities. It is specially designed by NMP TeAm partners Enterprise Ireland and Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH with valuable input from all the partners of the NMP TeAm, for connecting all the NMP community.
The partner search facility, embedded within http://www.nmpteam.com/, is now fully functional and it is expected to help build consortiums by providing an FP7 NMP specific search engine. The procedure is overseen by the NMP NCP Network in order to ensure a high level of accuracy of data and instil confidence in the people who want to use it. The partner search facility presents two important distinctive features: partner search and partner offer. In the first case, for example, a coordinator or consortium with a definite idea for a project looking for further partners to complement the expertise scope of the consortium can submit online a partner search or look for relevant partner offers through a searchable database. In the second case, a potential partner offering expertise looking for collaboration in possible project consortia can submit online their own partner offer or look for relevant partner searches through a searchable database. Once registered, users can edit their profiles and add additional partner searches and/or partner offers after new NMP calls have been published.
