How it works

Matchmaking - How does it work?

Registration

• Register via the "Register now" button
• Once registered, you will have access to all matchmaking sessions (project idea pitches, 1:1 meeting sessions, and long-term matchmaking) as well as all call information sessions and breakout sessions.

Tips for your profile

• Create a clear and concise profile to raise your visibility on the platform.
• Your profile should describe who you are, what you can offer to potential partners and who you want to meet.
• Specify your Challenge Areas of Activity and Organisation Type (these criteria will facilitate matchmaking)
• Your profile will be visible before, during and after the event.

Opportunities Forum

• This is a public forum to promote offers and needs for all platform participants.
• Find out who is offering interesting project ideas, services or products.
• Promote your offers and needs to complement your project idea.
• Specify your posts with the right tags, i.e. addressed Challenge Areas, EIT Urban Mobility Programme, collaboration needs, type of service, project stage, etc.

Matchmaking & Networking (1:1 meetings)

• Sign-up for pre-planned "1:1 meetings" sessions and/or "Long-term matchmaking" to show your availability.
  • Pre-planned "1:1 Meetings":
    • Signed-up participants will be matched according to their availability.
    • 15 minutes run fast but it is enough to build first connections before the bell rings and the next talk starts.
      
  • "Long-term Matchmaking":
    • Request and schedule 1:1 video calls before, during and after the events at any time.
    • Available until 30 June.
• Be active not reactive. Browse participants profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to meet.
• Adding a meaningful remark stating why you are interested in a meeting will increase the chance that your request will be accepted.

How to attend online sessions?

• During the registration, sign-up for those sessions you intend to attend
• Once registered, you can always come back to your profile and add/remove sessions (Login -> Agenda)
• Tip: Save the dates in your calendar as well. On the day before, a reminder will be sent for those sessions you have signed-up for via b2match.
• On the day of the events:
  • 1) Log-in to your account (important) 
  • 2) Go to "Agenda"
  • 3) "Join online session" (the button becomes immediately available upon the start of the session)

Code of Conduct

We are expecting cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody: Be excellent to each other, show empathy, and help make this a safe space to explore tangible, equitable solutions. Organisers will enforce this code of conduct throughout the event.
