WP 6 - Cooperation with SCC1 network and knowledge exchange

SPARCS is an active partner in the overall H2020 collaboration framework and actively participates in the already established SCC1 clustering initiatives. The impact objectives of these projects and a significant portion of the target audiences overlap and therefore these common activities will capitalise on this overlap with the aim to increase the individual reach and enlarge the potential pool of replication and innovation acceptance. The collaboration enables knowledge exchange, and sharing, among individual partners and work packages of the projects as well as participating to its governance. The collaboration will take place by means of participation in meetings, organization of joint events, conference participation and by building common recommendations (in T6.2). The knowledge exchange further builds on partnerships with external cross-cutting and regional initiatives that offer additional opportunity to make contact with SCC projects (in T6.3 and T6.4). Opportunities for further common activities a common deliverables will be regularly assessed and subsequently discussed and agreed upon with the projects’ officers.

This handbook focuses on the work done in subtask 6.1.2 Clustering activities. It provides an update of activities performed as earlier planned and defined in D6.3 (Cooperation handbook: Report of lighthouse projects cooperation: Working groups and platform results, M6). The deliverable provides an update on the SCC1 clusters, knowledge acquired and planned activities. This deliverable will be further updated in M58 and released as D6.5 (Cooperation handbook: Report of lighthouse projects cooperation: Working groups and platform results – updated version 2).
