The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, in collaboration with the French Association of Pôles de Compétitivité (AFPC), organises the next edition of the Cluster Collaboration Labs in Strasbourg, France, on 25-26 September 2024. The C2Lab is a workshop-style event where you will have the opportunity to meet new partners, discuss your project ideas, and initiate collaboration – for example to apply together for a European call. You can either join with a concrete project proposal or offer your expertise and knowledge by joining others.
What are the topics of the C2Lab?
As a starting point for the joint project creation, we have defined the following challenges:
- Meta clustering: Start the formation of cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary, and trans-European meta clusters to build resilience and accelerate the transition to green and digital economy
- Interregional investments: Collaboration to improve the capacity of public authorities and innovation intermediaries to support the industry in identifying investment opportunities at an interregional scale as well as to develop business cases for interregional innovation projects
- Mobility: Support the shift to towards low- and zero-emission means of mobility and develop recommendations to incentivise the uptake of sustainable mobility choices
- Health: Develop an EU-wide network to enhance pandemic preparedness by better connecting existing infrastructures, innovation agendas, scientific evidence and policymaking mechanisms and agreed data standards
- Construction: Support the development of innovative workflows for deep renovation of buildings to meet long-term climate and energy targets as well as help the transition to circularity in construction
- Your own project idea: You bring and present my own project
Each participant will choose one of the challenges to work on with their fellow peers during the C2Lab.
The goal is to have a project roadmap at the end of the C2Lab that your team will further implement and bring to an application to a public call or alternative funding opportunities.
