Clusters represent 70% of the budget of EUREKA project portfolio
Clusters are industry-driven, market-oriented strategic initiatives:
They result from industry decision to achieve an industry roadmap following full
bottom-up approach
They have an industry vision
They have a mission to help creating European added-value, jobs and to gain
market shares worldwide
Clusters generate projects
Clusters have delegation to attribute their label, which is equivalent to EUREKA
label

Common characteristics of all the clusters:
Proposals should be in line with the scope defined by each cluster (strategic
roadmap, white book). Proposers can submit any items within the scopes.
One or two calls per year: Spring and Autumn
Proposals are reviewed by Experts & Public authorities: ―constructive‖ evaluation
Label is granted by the cluster organisation (Board, core group…)
Objective: 6 months from the submission to the start
Possibility to resubmit a proposal if accepted by reviewers and PA/ core group
The cluster Office acts as a facilitator for proposers

A process designed by industry for
industry: Light, Fast,Interactive
12
Common characteristics of all the clusters:
Continuous submission with cut-off dates/year. No need to wait for a
suitable call
A good project can be funded in 6 months
No competition between projects; quality of your own project is what counts
Funding success about 80% for good projects
Project enrichment/improvement through extensive/continuous feedback
from TC and PAs
Synchronisation of funding from participating countries can be achieved if
participants contact the national funding authorities very early in the submission
process.
