The project partnership comprises 9 organizations from 6 different countries, together with two external partners that will support the implementation of the project activities. The partnership was conceived to activate a public-private and institutional technical co-operation both supporting the transfer of innovative policies, guidelines, strategies and web-based tools, and identifying and establishing Mediterranean innovation communities composed of research centres, universities and clusters with the aim of developing innovation working programmes.
