COS-CLUSTPARTNS-2017-3-02 - EUROPEAN STRATEGIC CLUSTER PARTNERSHIPS FOR SMART SPECIALISATION INVESTMENTS

OBJECTIVES OF THE FUNDING PROGRAMME The approach of this call for proposals builds on the successful experience of establishing European Strategic Cluster Partnerships for going international (ESCP-4i) as part of the Cluster Internationalisation Programme for SMEs under COSME. The focus of this call for proposal, however, is not on supporting SME internationalisation with strategic partners in third countries beyond Europe but on supporting the inter-regional cluster cooperation for the benefit of SMEs, their scale-up and joint investment projects within Europe.
