6. Vision The leading university network in technology forResearch, Education and Innovationin Europe A central player in the development of Knowledge & Innovation Communities in Europe. The prime partner for Industry Cooperation at the European level
7. Mission Enhance cooperation among members to promote exchange, cooperation and interaction between students, faculty and administrative staff Provide a strategic platform for joint programmes within education, research and innovation for its members Develop interaction, cooperation and joint programmes with associate members
8. Mission Promote exchange of ideas to support best practice in all aspects of university management and leadership Provide a forum for strategic policy discussions among the leadership of CLUSTER universities Benefit from EU programmes within education, research and innovation
9. Mission Become a strategic partner with the European Commission Take a lead in pedagogical development to strengthen the education at the MSc and PhD level for CLUSTER members Build partnerships with major European enterprises Become the first choice for MSc engineering students in and outside Europe

12. Students Howcanstudentsbenefitfrom CLUSTER? Exchange of students with institutions of strong international orientation Offering of double degree programmes and mutual recognition of degrees Registration in Student Exchange Database
13. BSc Univ A D Univ. A D Univ. B Goal Creating the most competitive MScProgrammes in Europe – basis for Erasmus Mundus applications.
14. Student Exchange Database All exchange students in mobility from or to a CLUSTER university are entitled to be registered in the database. Curriculum vitae, academic results, data on mobility…. Students enter the data, home university validates them. Mutual and Automatic Recognition of degrees CLUSTER Dual Master joint certificatesigned by the two Rectors Data visible to companies for recruitment
15. Dual Masters A PROFOUND CHANGE TO ENGINEERING EDUCATION Students spend one academic year in their home CLUSTER university and one year in a second CLUSTER university. Specific Agreements are signed between couple of universities in the different field. No prolongation of the studies is required and no paperwork added. Students keep paying tuition fees at the home university Thesis work can be performed at a third university or in a company Two degrees are delivered simultaneously
16. MScProgrammes A PROFOUND CHANGE TO ENGINEERING EDUCATION Joint degrees (diplomas) with EIT and CLUSTER label Transparency and mobility across Europe Close cooperation with industry and public services Integrated management and entrepreneurship education: new level of preparation for future leaders in business and technology
17. DoctoralSchools INTERNATIONAL JOINT DOCTORAL PROGRAMS DOCTORAL PROGRAMME: Research-based; Interdisciplinary research training; Advanced competencies and skills; Mobility and cooperation in international environment.
