ClusterXchange in SERBIA
21-23 June 2022
The Serbian Construction Cluster DUNDJER is organizing a three days ClusterXchange event in Serbia between the 21st and 23rd of June 2022. Overall, the event seeks to facilitate the exchange of experience and knowledge between various stakeholders that will attend – professionals from various organisations in Romania, Poland, Serbia and Slovenia.

The event aims at bringing together organizations (members of clusters or business networks) from Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, and Poland for mutual learning activities, such as twinning, networking, B2B meetings and so on. Among others, this is a great opportunity for those who participate to exchange knowledge and expertise among each other and to expand their network in the region.

Visiting Organizations from Romania, Slovenia and Poland may receive up to 280 EUR (lump sum) as financial support for 3rd parties. This is meant to encourage organizations to participate in the event, while covering expenses related to traveling, accommodation and so on – this may be paid only after the ClusterXchange event is carried out successfully and if all the ESCP-4X requirements are met (based on the ESCP-4x Quality Manual).
