Connecting ENergy Clusters across Europe

Objective

CENCE overall objective is to activate cooperation between European Energy Clusters by establishing a cooperative learning platform that facilitates the promotion of entrepreneurial innovation. CENCE points out a new concept of clustering, building new cooperation relationships between the most promising and developed EU Energy Clusters. The implementation will consist on 3 stages: LEARNING ' NETWORKING' COOPERATION. This objective will be achieved through a work-plan with the following workpackages (WP1 is dedicated to the project management): WP2 will set up the basis of the research work, providing as main results a SWOT analysis, Best Practices and a Regional Competences Map. WP3 will be based on enhancing learning processes and the creation of a European platform. This platform will be an instrument to increase economic and social growth, by means of: exploiting synergies and fostering joint projects, paving the way to an Energy Mega-Cluster and providing recommendations to encourage clustering processes in Europe, especially in the New Member States (WP4). A durable structure of exchange even above the horizon of CENCE is intended to achieve. WP5 will ensure the awareness, dissemination and exploitation of the project activities and results. CENCE consortium has 10 partners from 8 different European countries: CLUSTER DE ENERGiA and FUNDACIoN LABEIN (Spain), LEV and ESV (Austria), UK CEED (UK), CPI (Italy), MERINOVA (Finland), NORDA (Hungary), ZDE (Slovenia) and BAYERN INNOVATIV (Germany). This consortium represents all of the most established five energy clusters (identified by a recent Swiss study) as well as 2 developing Clusters and 3 organisations being Experts in the field of Cluster and Innovation. CENCE project contributes to the activities supported by the Work Programme 'Research and Innovation' 1.2.1. Networking the players and users, and encouraging interaction between them, and 1.2.1.3. Entrepreneurial innovation and clusters.
