Finding Partners

Here are some ways to find project partners for Lifelong Learning Programme project work.

1. Partner Search Databases

You can use the link below to access a database designed to help European organisations find new partners.

The UK Leonardo, Grundtvig & Transversal Partner Search Database can be found at www.leonardo.org.uk/partnersearch. Why not register your organisation and search for new partners?

2. Using existing links

Many organisations already have European links through networking bodies, partnerships or work contacts. Using partners already known by your organisation means you can rely on a pre-existing relationship to add commitment to the partnership. So why not talk to your colleagues to see who they know?

3. Participate in a Study Visit

Participation in a Study Visit is a great way to find new partners for future collaboration.
