Are you planning to submit a proposal for the next LIFE call for action grants? Are you unsure who to work with? Then this information is for you!
As a potential LIFE project beneficiary, you may profit from cooperation with partners outside your country. The transnational character of a project is a positive feature that will enhance the EU added value of your proposal, as long as it is in line with its scope. But do you find potential partners relevant to your project idea?
The LIFE programme has identified some existing platforms you may find useful:

Via social media you can connect to thousands of potential partners. Following specific groups organised by programme/ thematic area makes it even easier to forge links with like-minded organisations.
Use your existing profile (or create one, if you don't have one) and join the groups that interest you:
In each Member State there is a National Contact Point (and often several regional contact points) to help you with your application. The National Contact Points can point you in the direction of local partners.
Here is the list of NCPs: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/archives/life/contact/nationalcontact/index.htm.
