NVAS - Cluster is a member of the European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP). ECCP was created from the DG Grow initiative of the European Commission as a platform for connecting and exchanging information between clusters within the EU and around the world. By becoming a member of ECCP NVAS, the cluster gets the opportunity to establish contacts and exchange information with more than 1,000 innovative clusters in Europe as well as in the world. At the same time, we get access to the database and information about projects solved within clusters from various EU programs. NVAS Cluster is also a certified cluster with a bronze certificate of excellence involved in the European organization of clusters.

 

The main task of the cluster is to create a platform for connecting individual participants (stakeholders) dealing with hydrogen technologies in specific projects related to the production, distribution, storage and use of hydrogen. Due to the nature of hydrogen, which connects different sectors of industry, the projects included in the cluster organization will include partners from industry, research and development, cities and municipalities and regional associations, state and public administration, as well as educational institutions and other professional and interest associations.

All regular members of NVAS automatically become members of NVAS - Cluster and have the opportunity to participate in projects included in the Cluster organization. For individual projects, there will also be specific members who will participate in joint activities for a specific project. The NVAS - Cluster activities will result in concrete project intentions, documents, publications, technical and financial recommendations and proposals related to research and development and implementation of hydrogen and hydrogen technologies.
