The EaP PLUS grant scheme was born from the ambition to further enhance EU-EaP research and innovation partnerships through cluster and cluster-like organisation cooperation. The scheme aims at strengthening clusters in EaP countries, transferring the EU’s – and, when relevant, the EaP countries’ - good practices, and facilitating sustainable inter-cluster cooperation between the EU and EaP countries’ existing or emerging clusters.

EaP PLUS offers six grants in total of up to 10.000€ to EaP clusters or cluster-like legal entities or organisations.The grant covers the expenses of the cooperative activites between the EaP and EU clusters only. The call is targeted to cluster and cluster-like initiatives in EaP and EU countries only. To be elegible, you must be a cluster or cluster-like organisation from one of the six EaP countries, and have a partnering cluster organisation from one of the 28 EU Member States.
