Consortium Studio

Partner Registry

Curated, progressive-disclosure matching for research, SME, and civil-society partners. Tell us your capability and the call you target; we surface real fits, not infinite scroll.

Why curated, not a directory

Research on B2B matchmaking shows the same pattern over and over: an overwhelming list of candidates reduces the probability of any one match succeeding. Specialists who are shown too many options disengage. Coordinators who scan infinite lists default to who they already know.

The Consortium Studio responds with the opposite stance. You tell us what you need, we filter on the constraints that actually matter, and we return a small set you can act on this week.

Who is on the registry

Research performers and technology developers

Universities, RTOs, and applied research groups working on trustworthy AI, multi-agent systems, marine robotics, MRV, or knowledge integration. We need clear evidence: recent publications, demonstrators, or live pilots.

SMEs with pilot and validation capacity

Innovative SMEs that can host or run a pilot inside a real operational context. We are especially interested in firms with deployed hardware (vessels, ROVs, sensors, edge compute) and an operator team willing to participate in co-design.

Civil society and policy partners

Marine NGOs, coastal community representatives, policy organisations, and standards bodies. EU calls increasingly require this layer; a credible consortium has it embedded, not bolted on.

Public-sector and infrastructure partners

Port authorities, environmental agencies, regional development bodies, and EDIHs. Often the most valuable partners for hardware-agnostic robotics validation and for the regulatory dialogue around deployment.

How matching works

  1. 1. Tell us the call or cluster.

    Programme Pathway and Focus Area first. This shrinks the search space dramatically and stops the registry from drowning you in irrelevant fits.

  2. 2. Tell us what you bring.

    Capability statement, Technology Readiness Level, geographic region, and Gender Equality Plan status. Plus your PIC if you already have one.

  3. 3. We return a curated shortlist.

    Inside three working days, a small set of optimal matches. Each profile includes a capability brief, availability window, and a clear next step. No infinite scroll.

  4. 4. You decide who to meet.

    We facilitate a single, joint scoping call. From there, you and the partner decide if you proceed; we step aside or stay in as orchestration coordinator depending on what you want.

What we capture in each profile

Just enough to make the introduction useful. Nothing that has to be obscured for IP reasons.

  • Organisation type and country of registration.
  • Capability statement (one paragraph, no fluff).
  • Technology Readiness Level we typically operate at.
  • PICPICParticipant Identification Code: nine-digit identifier assigned to every organisation registered on the EU Funding and Tenders Portal. Used in every proposal to identify the legal entity. if held; otherwise the date we expect to register one.
  • GEPGEPGender Equality Plan: an institutional document mandated for Horizon Europe eligibility on public bodies, higher-education establishments and research organisations. Covers targets, dedicated resources, data collection, and training. status (required for Horizon, increasingly expected elsewhere).
  • Three recent outputs that evidence the capability.
  • Availability window for the next proposal cycle.
  • Preferred role: coordinator, work-package lead, contributor.

Current status

We operate the registry today as a curated, human-mediated process. We deliberately have not put a public, infinite-scroll directory online yet; doing so well requires consent, role-based access control, and explicit signals of availability that we are still building.

A live, searchable registry interface is on the roadmap for the second half of 2026. If you would like to be among the first profiles featured when it launches, register your interest through the form below; we will reach out for the short capability brief.

Add your organisation to the registry

Submit the short intake at /consortium-studio/start. Mention "registry profile" in the message and we will follow up with the capability-brief template.
