You can already find the Envirocentre on the map of European clusters. We have become part of the European cluster collaboration platform. As one of the 25 clusters from Slovakia, we will use this platform to search for international partnerships and collaborations not only for Envirocentrum itself, but also for all its members and for organisations working on similar topics as Envirocentrum.
The mission of the ECCP is to be the European online hub for interested clusters and a single point of contact for stakeholders from third countries interested in establishing partnerships with European counterparts. Within its tools, the ECCP offers:
- a dynamic mapping of more than 1 400 profiled clusters worldwide
- the largest cluster information centre, offering the latest news and open calls to the wider community through the ECCP newsletter
- events organised by the ECCP and the cluster community to promote capacity building and debate
- supporting events promoting the development of cooperation between clusters in Europe and beyond
- a comprehensive knowledge database containing mapping of regional, national, international and sectoral cluster networks, tools and publications developed by the ECCP, the European Commission, the academy and the wider community
- detailed information on the European Cluster Partnerships and a forum for Partnership members
- a forum for cluster associations and networks to promote mutual learning and information transfer on activities and funding opportunities
- a peer search facility and a ClusterXchange facility where offers and requests can be exchanged directly via private messaging
- ECCP Trend Universe – a tool that provides a deeper understanding of future trends and their impact on clusters
- a site supporting international cooperation, including profiles of selected countries of strategic interest and a technical assistance facility (SMEs Go International)
- up-to-date information on key policy areas of the European Commission: green and digital policy, social economy, economic resilience and industrial ecosystems (in the sections dedicated to the topic)
