Projects

This overview shows some of the projects where the cluster either participates or runs directly. The underlined entities are project owners. All members can suggest projects and topics they want to address, and some of these will eventually develop into projects, very often with external funding. In-house projects with members may also be lifted to capitalize on our network, collaboration and common interests. We encourage all to inquire about content, possible participation and input regarding the below projects, preferably by email to post@cpcluster.no
