In the upcoming the call for proposals on clusters of excellence, applications should describe clusters of excellence that over time encompass both research and innovation. Involving innovation actors and visionary companies early on in shaping the cluster's focus and plan can strengthen the application's innovation potential.

The call for proposals is open to a wide range of technology areas.
