A Horizon Europe partner profile is the one document that does most of the work when a consortium is forming. It gets forwarded, pasted into partner-search platforms, attached to introductions, and circulated inside organisations you will never speak to directly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most organisations do not have one. They have a company brochure, a list of publications, and a website – none of which answers the question a coordinator is asking. This article covers what the profile has to contain, how to write the part that decides everything, and how to use it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What a partner profile is, and what it is not<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
It is not<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\nIt is<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
A company brochure describing your excellence<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/td>\nA proposal for a specific role in someone else’s project<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A list of publications or past projects<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/td>\nEvidence that you can deliver a defined piece of work<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A capability statement<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/td>\nA role statement, with the capability as support<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A document about you<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/td>\nA document about what the coordinator gets<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The distinction matters because a coordinator reading twenty profiles before a deadline is not evaluating organisations. They are filling gaps in a work plan. A profile that describes capability leaves them to work out where you fit; a profile that proposes a role has already done that work for them.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The one-page structure\"Structure<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

The role statement: the part that decides everything<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Everything else on the page is support. This is the section a coordinator reads first and often the only one they read.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The test: could the coordinator, having read it, write your name into a work package table without asking you anything further? If not, it is not specific enough.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The right-hand column is not longer than the left. It is the same length with the vagueness removed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Stating what you do not have<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Counterintuitively, naming your limitations strengthens the profile. A coordinator’s fear is not that you lack EU experience – it is that you lack it and do not know it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
