On 30 May 2012 a partnering event is jointly organised by the two projects "Fit for Health" and "Health-NCP-Net".

The main part of the day will be dedicated to bilateral meetings between researchers interested in the same call area. A surrounding programme will provide information on what makes a good consortium and give researchers from SME and academia interested in SME-targeted topics and those from countries outside Europe a platform to present their project ideas in 5-minute presentations.

Bilateral meetings will be arranged automatically by a user-friendly match-making tool following indication of interests in specific call areas by participants. Additionally to bilateral meetings among potential project partners, participants will have the option to meet with representatives of support initiatives and members of the organising projects for personalised support and information.
