Put your cluster on the virtual Cluster Collaboration platform

Cluster Collaboration is a platform that collects information on all European clusters so that the information is available and beneficial to the entire cluster world. The platform was developed to build a bridge across the cluster sectors and borders and it makes it easier for clusters and their members to establish networks and new cluster collaborations.

Furthermore, Cluster Collaboration is updating an overview of the activities and events in the cluster world both in and outside Europe.

In order for the platform to become a successful instrument in the everyday life of the clusters, it requires as many cluster participants as possible and therefore, Cluster Collaboration encourages all clusters to register on the virtual platform www.clustercollaboration.eu

The platform has more than 1200 users from 500 clusters, which is more than one third of the clusters in Europe. However, many Danish clusters have not yet clicked their way in to this European cluster network.

Cluster Collaboration is a part of the European Cluster Excellence initiative and is financed by the EU Commission. The initiative is managed by the users themselves and it is thus up to the clusters and the persons interested in the clusters to make the new instrument as good as possible.

On the Cluster Collaboration platform you can:

• Get an overview of the European clusters

• See which actors, e.g. companies, educational institutions and public institutions, who is a member of the various European clusters

• Upload news, documents and information on events in the cluster world

• Share knowledge – among other things through uploaded documents

• Get information on new projects and financing possibilities

• Furthermore, you can participate in sector specific fora and various other groups – among other things through live chats
