Find partners
For most projects funded under the EaSI strand, transnational cooperation is a key requirement to ensure EU-wide impact and added value. This is the case for calls on social experimentation, social innovation, or the target mobility scheme (EURES).
Applicants are typically required to form a partnership (consortium) with
- a minimum of two entities (beneficiaries)
- from at least 2 different countries
