What is InterSpiN?

InterSpiN stands for internationalisation of leading-edge clusters, forward-looking projects and comparable networks. With this plan the Federal Ministry of Education and Research takes the growing need of internationalization of innovative clusters into account.

A scientifically grounded accompanying research has an essential meaning to better understand the determinants and effects of the internationalisation of leading-edge clusters, forward-looking projects and comparable networks, to analyze the internationalisation strategies on this basis and to be able to support the funding recipients with their successful realization of the planned measures.
