Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Région BretagnecoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerRégion Bretagne is the primary funder and partner of 2PE. The region established and co-finances the platform and is also the coordinator of the BIENVENÜE COFUND program for attracting international postdoctoral researchers to Brittany. 2PE serves as a relay for Boost'Europe, the regional financial support device for research and/or training projects.
• European CommissioncoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe European Commission provides funding through Horizon Europe and Erasmus+ programs that 2PE helps Breton institutions access. 2PE observes and reports on regional participation in these EU framework programs.
• Bretagne Développement Innovation (BDI)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner2PE co-animates the Noé Bretagne network with Bretagne Développement Innovation. This network brings together approximately 30 academic structures (universities, schools, research organizations) in connection with socio-economic actors (competitiveness clusters, technopoles) to encourage and facilitate access to European research and innovation programs.
• 17 Member institutions (Université de Rennes, UBO, UBS, Rennes 2, CNRS, INRIA, IMT-Atlantique, Institut Agro, and others)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner17 higher education and research institutions are members of 2PE, signing partnership conventions with Région Bretagne. These institutions benefit from comprehensive 2PE services including project development support. The list includes major Breton universities, research organizations, and engineering schools.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• ENSUITE Project (European Universities Support for Innovation, Training and Education): Pan-European consortium project supporting university participation in EU programs — comparable institutional-support mission with similar funder (Erasmus+) and stakeholder community.
• ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche): French national research funding agency; 2PE has expanded into supporting IUF and ANR JCJC proposals feeding into future European submissions — comparable client base of Breton academic researchers.

Direct peers

• Plateforme Projets Européens (2PE) Nouvelle-Aquitaine: Direct regional counterpart in Nouvelle-Aquitaine delivering the same mutualized advisory model for Horizon Europe and Erasmus+ to local universities and research bodies — same mandate, different geography.
• Université de Rennes — European Projects Office: Host institution's internal European projects office; sits structurally adjacent to 2PE and shares many of the same Breton researchers as clients — both delivering Horizon Europe / Erasmus+ advisory support.
• Plateforme Projets Européens (2PE) Occitanie: Regional mutualized service for Occitanie supporting academic participation in EU framework programs — directly comparable structure and service catalog to 2PE Bretagne.

Broad incumbents

• Euraxess France: European Commission-affiliated researcher mobility network supporting Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions and postdoctoral recruitment — overlaps with 2PE's Marie Curie attractiveness initiative at a pan-European level.
• PCN Horizon Europe France (Points de Contact Nationaux): National Contact Points appointed by the French government to advise on Horizon Europe calls — a higher-tier advisory layer that 2PE complements at the regional level for Breton institutions.
• Agence Erasmus+ France / Éducation Formation: National agency managing Erasmus+ in France for education and training — the upstream counterpart to 2PE's regional Erasmus+ accompaniment work.
• Bretagne Développement Innovation (BDI): Regional innovation agency co-animating the Noé Bretagne network with 2PE; broader mandate spanning competitiveness clusters and economic development, but overlapping on EU-program partner identification for Breton actors.

Others

• EARMA (European Association of Research Managers and Administrators): European professional association for research managers and project officers — adjacent ecosystem organization serving a similar practitioner community to 2PE's project engineers.
