Partner Search Facility (PSF) will serve NCPs Regional to exchange information on research driven clusters.

The idea behind development of the facility is to establish common methodology for eligibility check and characterisation of research driven clusters (RDC) interested in trans-national and trans-regional cooperation to avoid circulation of partner searches which are not relevant to the program objectives.

The eligibility of each RDC will be checked by respective NCP. Eligibility check will be done according to common for all NCPs procedure and indicators.

Although browsing the database is available without registration submission of the project ideas as well as RDC data presentation is possible only after registration in the data base. Registration is possible after validation of RDC by respective NCP.

After positive validation by NCP, RDC will receive access to the database and will be able to go through registration process as well as will be able to correct and supplement its data contained in the database.

Each registered RDC can search for partners for trans-national cooperation through browsing the database and submitting project ideas.

Each project idea for cluster trans-national cooperation will be validated by respective NCP according to its relevance to the objectives of the RoK Calls (qualitative verification). NCP comments on project idea will be sent to the respective RDC for improvements. After improvements project idea will be checked by respective NCP and if meets program objectives validated and automatically visible for all database users.
