If so, please indicate the number of partners belonging to each category of partners per research topic and the form of cooperation with these external partners ( = yes). Please, consider to indicate only sustained (i.e. not ad hoc) research cooperation between your institution and another institution or organisation. For the purpose of this study, consider only collaborations that have lasted at least 2 years. We aim to identify particularly collaborations which may have been concluded through formal agreements between the partners. 1 Partner categories: Academic partners: Universities, universities of applied sciences etc. Industry partners: Companies, company research laboratories, consultancies, etc Research and Technology Organisations: Public or private research and technology organisations Other partners: Government bodies or agencies (e.g. ministries, agencies on the municipal, regional, national or European level), other partners (e.g. NGOs), etc 2 Form of cooperation Research: The project/topic involves partners that conduct research as a part of a project/topic. Access to research infrastructure: Offering access to research facilities/infrastructure for research staff of your institution and/or your institution offering access to research infrastructure for partners. Hosting doctoral candidates: Partner is offering (temporary or permanent) positions for Doctorate candidates to conduct research or write a dissertation in their institution. 13

Mark boxes ( ) to indicate whether your institution maintains a partnership with a specific purpose within the framework of a given Master programme. For joint/double degree programmes, please select 'Education: Double/joint degree'. By partnerships, we refer to formal (i.e. not ad hoc) cooperation between your institution and a third party. The third party can, for example, give official lectures to students or host students as part of their training. Ideally, the cooperation is clearly defined and integrated in the programme structure. 1 Partner categories: Academic partners: Universities, universities of applied sciences etc. Industry partners: Companies, company research laboratories, consultancies, etc Research and Technology Organisations: Public or private research and technology organisations Other partners: Government bodies or agencies (e.g. ministries, agencies on the municipal, regional, national or European level), other partners (e.g. NGOs), etc. 2 Form of cooperation (academic partners) Education - double or joint degree: Please tick this box if the programme is a double or a joint degree offered in cooperation with other academic institutions. Education - other: Offering regular education activities to students of the programme, e.g. lectures or other courses, offering lab facilities and/or dedicating time to students, site visits or other activities. 3 Form of cooperation (all other partners) Education: Offering regular education activities to students of the programme, e.g. lectures or other courses, offering lab spaces and/or time for students, site visits or other activities. Placements (internship / thesis): Please tick this box if an industry partner is regularly offering internships for students or to write a thesis in a partner company/organisation. 14
