A peer-reviewed journal article co-written by TechConcepts, which is titled as ‘Drivers for Clustering and Inter-Project Collaboration — A Case of Horizon Europe Projects’ has been published in the special issue of Collaboration Networks, Organizations, and Innovation journal.
This article explores the drivers and dynamics of clustering and collaboration among Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 projects. Using a survey-based approach, it examines perceptions of clustering, information-sharing under confidentiality, and motivations for inter-project collaboration. The survey was distributed among eight EU projects in the SOLID4B cluster, revealing that most respondents (48 out of 55) view clustering as beneficial, with many willing to share best practices and breakthroughs under legal protection. Additionally, 40 out of 55 expressed strong interest in collaborative efforts. The study underscores the value of clustering in enhancing the Horizon program’s impact, expanding networks, and facilitating knowledge exchange.
