About the Call

The overall objective of this call is to strengthen cluster management excellence and facilitate exchanges and strategic partnership between clusters across Europe, including a new “ClusterXchange” pilot scheme. High quality cluster management and strategic connections between clusters are key elements of world-class clusters.

Potential applicants should address all questions related to the content of the call by e-mail to EASME-COSME-CLUSTER-EXCELLENCE [at] ec.europa.eu.
