With the EC insisting on the importance of multiplying impact across several projects funded under the same call, clustering in Horizon Europe becomes a critical activity. The present article outlines the importance of clustering in Horizon Europe and describes potential clustering activities Privanova implements in projects where we take part.

When project outcomes are transformed into concrete benefits for society, they maximise the scientific, social, economic, technological and policy value of the project and, in turn, further contribute to making Europe a global reference in Research and Innovation. To achieve this transformation, Privanova’s dissemination activities rely on the successful planning and careful delivery to relevant stakeholders.
