Difficulties finding right cooperation partners?
Do you have a fantastic idea for Nordic-Baltic collaboration? Are you eager to learn from your colleagues and analyse their success stories, but you don't know who to contact in the region? Finding the right cooperation partner and making arrangements can turn out to be more challenging and time-consuming than you expect.
Starting from this year all project managers can search for potential project partners through the application platform - NB8-Grants. Sign in to the system, post your idea with suggestions for cooperation or read other people's proposals. You can get in touch with your colleagues yourself or they can contact you. However, the programme administrator assumes no liability for the results of collaboration searches.
Check out the partnership proposals here.

Feedback
Ruta Silina, Ombudsman Office of the Republic of Latvia, applied for funding for the project "Human rights and good governance monitoring in Denmark and Iceland": "Results from both study visits are not only keeping contacts and share topicalities, but also studying practical aspects for both sides. We highly evaluate simple, transparent and user friendly Project applying and reporting system."
