Regional and Individual Competence The aim of this section of the EuCluster Innovation Community portal is to provide an integrated tool for competence mapping at individual, organizational and regional level. The tools have been developed during the "Regional Competence Project" that was funded under the FP5 programme "Innovation and SME:s". The continuous dissemination of the competence tools is now being spearheaded by the Council of European Municipalities and Regions - CEMR. THE OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY This is also the site of the Open Source community around these competence tools, where you can have an exchange with others on how to use them. It is also here you can share the developments and modifications you make to the tools with the rest of the Open Source community. You can also come with comments and questions. Please use the Bulletin Board for this.
