Ideal-ist Service Map:
Finding free support services for the ICT programme of FP7
Ideal-ist recently launched a new online tool for ICT clients: the Service Map. The Ideal-ist Service Map is an innovative Single Point of Entry solution which helps ICT clients around the world to find organisations and projects providing free support services for the ICT programme of the 7th European Research Framework Programme (FP7).
The Ideal-ist Service Map allows companies and organisations wishing to participate in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) programme to search for specific projects, organizations and services world-wide, using the free search tool. It is also possible to select a specific country by clicking on it in the map, if a company or an organization is looking for a list of service providers offering support services in a specific country. More than 32 projects and 63 organizations are currently listed on the Service Map.
The Ideal-ist Service Map offers the following services:

The Ideal-ist Quality Label
Ideal-ist has been relaunched in FP7 with an improved web portal and it also comes with another improved feature: the Ideal-ist Quality Label, signaling a quality checked partner search. The Ideal-ist Quality Team checks each partner search and generates valuable feedback for the proposer that can be used to improve the whole project idea. Only Partner Searches passing this check and incorporating any required changes will receive a Quality Label. The Quality Team is a group of Ideal-ist partners with each partner having several years of experience in the Framework Programme. This unique feature distinguishes Ideal-ist from most other partner searches.
