Cluster Development Med

The project had had a slightly delay due to the general delay suffered in the implementation of the secondments of the project. The delay was due to security problem affecting Egypt and Turkey and the Termination of the partnership with DARE -Distretto Agroalimentare Regionale SCRL. ClusDevMed had been a 48-month project. It achieved many goals and showed that its aims were and are relevant. The project managed to implement its goals and creating networks and partnership that will last even after the project itself. The activities and trainings implemented improved the participants skills and allowed them to share knowledge and good practices by working on the same goal. Being the consortium a very diverse environment, different ideas and multidisciplinary approaches had been explored and discussed in order to produce joint publications on WEF-Nexus of GreenTech Approach. ClusDevMed had been focus on creating the condition for the reinforcement of existing clusters in the Mediterranean Area, with the support of other EU expertise and policies, and with the aim to bridge the distance among different stakeholders with the same objectives, in order to implement a common approach to solve the food-water-energy nexus already described. Despite delays due to national and international political tension, all secondments have been implemented fully. It is important to highlight that the new schedule and the decisions that have been taken had been discussed with all partners in order to ensure a democratic and joint decision. Partners worked together in order to ensure results expected despite the amendment. As showed in the project reports and deliverables, activities, conferences and trainings implemented have impacted partners capacities in different ways. As reported in the deliverables, Non-European partners (especially early stage researchers) had the opportunity to attend trainings in European University. In fact, being ClusDevMed a comparative analysis on Clusters, it is important for researchers to study best practices cases in order to use that model for implementing tools and practices in their own country. Female researchers (59,6,%) and Male Researcher 40,4 % implemented secondments on this project.
