The EFFRA Innovation Portal supports online brokerage. This free service allows you to enter/upload an expression of interest (or 'project idea') to join or even coordinate a proposal associated to one or more Made in Europe call topics (or other manufacturing call topics): portal.effra.eu/projectideas.

How to create a 'project idea':

• Once logged in, click the menu item 'Project Ideas'.  That is the section on the portal where you see the published project ideas.  You can filter the project ideas on call topics.
