CLUSTER


Consortium Linking Universities of Science and Technology for Education and Research is a collection of twelve European universities which focus on science and engineering. There are joint programs and student exchanges held between the universities. The focus of the network is courses and study programmes, the goal being to offer students attractive exchanges between the best institutes of technology in Europe, along with dual degree partnerships at second- and third-cycle level, joint funding applications for courses and study programmes, exchanges for benchmarking purposes and approaches to policy issues at EU level.
The CLUSTER presidency changes every two years. The president for 2024-2026 is Stefano Paolo Corgnati, Rector of Politecnico di Torino.
