Competence Clusters

The Centre of Expertise Programme is implemented by 13 national competence clusters, each of which comprises four to seven regional centres of expertise. A competence cluster forms a network and cooperation forum for its centres of expertise, which is managed with a view to fulfilling shared objectives. Each cluster is appointed a programme director to coordinate the cluster’s national and international operations.
