One of the specific objectives of the CLUNET project is to design and implement a number of concrete pilot cross-border cooperation initiatives to support cluster growth and innovation, which resulted in eight pilot projects.

Enlistment of ideas for pilot projects (PP) started already at the end of 2007. In the first half of 2008 PP were presented in details, at the Rome meeting in June 2008 partners decided to select and implement eight PP.
