Overall in Europe cluster initiatives are flourishing. But how professional are these initiatives been managing? How could the management of Cluster be more efficient? MFG Baden-Württemberg will try to answer these and other questions through the european project Cluster- Excellence.eu – European Cluster Excellence Initiatives. Aim of the project is the development of quality indicators and peer-assessment procedures for cluster management, which will finally bring to a Quality Label for excellent Cluster Management.
In recent years the European Commission has launched a number of cluster related projects and initiatives aiming at the improvement of cluster policy within Europe and improving the efficiency of existing efforts in cluster management. Starting in September 2009 Cluster-Excellence.eu – the European Cluster Excellence Initiative – constitutes a central pillar within this approach.
Cluster-Excellence.eu puts together the most experienced persons and organisations in Europe to identify and set up a meaningful set of quality indicators and peer-assessment procedures for cluster management. The intention is to develop training materials and set up an approach for quality labelling of cluster management, in order to help cluster managers achieve high levels of excellence in their duties and to succeed in the peer-assessments. Cluster-Excellence.eu will then create and act as a club of professionals and institutions, to promote cluster management excellence, and diffuse the adoption of the Quality Label among its members.
