The decisive boundary
A shared project is evidence—not a judgement about the relationship.
The cohort contains 3,069 exact organization pairs. Public partnership dossiers deliberately cover only the 227 pairs with at least two distinct shared projects. A connection establishes neither corporate affiliation, subcontracting nor impact.

Interactive atlas
The evidence-backed connections at a glance.
Find an organization by name or PIC. The atlas orders its strongest recurring partnerships by exact shared-project count and opens every piece of evidence down to the CORDIS project.

The atlas covers the complete configured CORDIS AI cohort with German participation at the disclosed data cutoff. It is not a complete inventory of every German AI cooperation or funding programme.
A partnership exists only when two distinct exact PICs are assigned to the same exact CORDIS project code. Names, similarity searches and review candidates are not used.
Funding values are only reported net EU contributions for German participants. Missing amounts remain unknown and are not treated as zero euros; research outputs are not attributed to an individual organisation or partnership.
Collection, PIC matching, pair formation and presentation use no generative AI model.

Permanent evidence instead of a fleeting graphic.
Every organization in the recurring network and every published partnership has its own dossier. For the full cohort, you can use this short reference.

Frequently asked questions
+What counts as cooperation in the atlas?
An edge is created only when two distinct exact CORDIS PICs are assigned to the same exact project code. A public partnership dossier appears only from two distinct shared projects.
+Is this a complete network of all German AI cooperation?
No. The atlas covers the complete configured CORDIS AI cohort with German participation at the stated data cutoff. Other funding programmes, privately financed work and projects without German CORDIS participation remain outside the coverage.
+Are organizations merged by name?
No. Identity is created exclusively through the exact CORDIS PIC. Matching names, abbreviations and similarity searches trigger neither a merge nor a new connection.
+What do the monetary values mean?
They are only reported net EU allocations for German participants. Missing values remain unknown and are never treated as zero euros. The sum on a partnership dossier is not a separate joint grant.
+Does a strong connection measure research success or impact?
No. Edge strength counts distinct shared projects only. It assesses neither scientific quality nor causality, transfer, corporate proximity or social impact.
+Can I link permanently to one organization or partnership?
Yes. Every organization in the recurring public network and every published partnership has a language-specific permanent URL with exact project evidence and CORDIS sources.
