This paper provides insights into the studies of LL project that focus on scaling up innovations and promoting them via organised clusters and innovation hubs. In the first phase this task has required awareness raising on different national and sectoral innovation and job creation programmes. The term ‘managed cluster’ is used to illustrate the importance of having a cluster initiative, an organisation or a project tasked with the development of the cluster. The cluster initiative work on behalf of the different types of stakeholders in a cluster to develop an identity of the cluster, joint goals and strategies as well as services to cluster members (and projects to initiate new services). In Y1 these studies were characterised by stocktaking, awareness-raising and by stakeholder interviews in the LL pilot regions. In the Y2 the emphasis is shifting towards examination of specific possibilities for cluster organisations and for exchanges with established innovation hubs that have been created by other innovation programmes. In these exchanges the LL project has been invited as a learner and adviser at the same time. A special role has been given for the development of Project-Based Learning initiatives as particular services for clusters and for innovation transfer.
