Objective
The project consortium is aware that no 'one size fits all' approach may be applied to policies for cluster development. Local conditions need to be considered. The project will start with the analysis of different European biotechnology clusters active in the healthcare sector. This study will establish the distinctive characteristics of each cluster in consideration of its stage of development and will identify the possible evolutionary path that each cluster may be anticipated to follow.
The direction of future developments in relation to the markets, bio-science research, and business models in use in the sector will be studied A synthesis of it will lead to the identification of best practices related to the critical issues for biotech cluster, cross-cluster development and the generation of successful innovation and commercialisation of knowledge. By way of framing pilot action, joint programmes will be designed and initiated and the most appropriate policy recommendations to local, national and international authorities will be identified for every stage of the clusters development. The quality of the consortium will be relevant for the design of activities and better possibility of knowledge sharing among highly relevant players.
The project includes leading biotechnology clusters in Europe (Cambridge in UK, Munich and Heidelberg in Germany, Ile de France-Paris in France), other developed clusters (Dundee in Scotland, Aaarhus in Denmark, Biotech Valley in Sweden, the Lombard-Piedmont megacluster in Italy) as well as emerging clusters in the mapping phase in Hungary and the Czech Republic. This will allow for the transfer of best practices for clusters at different stage of development., with the aim to enhance their global competitiveness. Synergies with already existing projects will be identified, design of activities carried out and dissemination of results undertaken through the horizontal action launched by EC and networks the partners belong to.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
