Partner searches are invitations addressed by cultural and creative agencies to other agencies, usually outside their origin country, where they outline the project they wish to implement under the Creative Europe Programme. These are standard forms, distributed through Creative Europe Offices -which operate in more than 40 European countries. Therefore, partner searches are an extremely useful tool for networking among operators, which can be exploited in a variety of ways.

Below is the list, which will be continuously updated, with the partner searches of operators.
