New Horizon Europe calls & international partner search

In this online form, you can select the topics and current calls you are interested in. On this basis, we would like to provide you with concrete support in your search for international partners and in putting together your consortium, if requested.

() I hereby give my consent to the partner search.*

The Bayerische Forschungsallianz (Bavarian Research Alliance) GmbH supports you in finding suitable (international) project partners and in forming a consortium. For this purpose, we collect, process and store the personal data provided in the following online form.

Therefore, we ask for your voluntary consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. By giving your consent, you agree that your personal data may be processed and stored by the Bayerische Forschungsallianz (Bavarian Research Alliance) GmbH and made available to other interested parties who have also expressed an interest in the projects listed below. In addition, you agree that this personal data may be passed on to potential (international) project partners so that they can contact you directly.

Because potential project partners may be located in countries outside the EU that may be considered unsafe third countries under the GDPR, data transfer to these countries may involve certain risks. In particular, you may not be able to influence the processing or storage of your personal data, you may not be able to exercise your rights as a data subject under the GDPR, or government authorities in that respective country may gain access to your personal data. By giving your consent, you also acknowledge this risk.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by sending us an e-mail to battery@no-spam-pleasebayfor.org. For more information about privacy, please see our privacy policy.
