Abstract: A (k,ell)-partition is a set partition which has ell blocks each of size k. Two uniform set partitions P and Q are said to be partially t-intersecting if there exist blocks Pi in P and Qj in Q such that left|PicapQjight|geqt. In this paper we prove a version of the ErdH{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem for partially 2-intersecting (k,ell)-partitions. In particular, we show for ell sufficiently large, the set of all (k,ell)-partitions in which a block contains a fixed pair is the largest set of 2-partially intersecting (k,ell)-partitions. For for k=3, we show this result holds for all ell.
