Cluster Connect - Batch 2 - Call for Hosts

DEADLINE: 07 January 2025

Cluster Connect is a short-term exchange activity between clusters and support organizations from similar or different industrial ecosystems. It involves twinning, matchmaking and knowledge sharing activities between a South Mediterranean cluster – the Visitor and an EU Host Organization – the Host. 

We have launched, as part of the Euromed Clusters Forward project funded by the DG NEAR, the call for proposals for 8 missions for Cluster Twinnings. The total budget allocated for each mission is 16,000 EUR. This budget includes expertise fees, travel costs for the cluster, and any other relevant expenses. If any Host would like to apply for several missions, please note that they have to apply separate proposal for each.

Deadline to apply: January 7, 2025.
