The project objective was to explore possibilities of cooperation between academic institutions in the cross-border region and to develop joint strategy for the establishment of transnational region of knowledge.

The activities also involved the opening of Knowledge Transfer Office in Osijek.

PORA participated in this project as project associate, which means that they did not participate financially in the implementation of the project but they provided their expert knowledge, already established economic and social partnerships in Koprivnica Križevci County and thus ensured a higher level of quality in the process of implementation of the project.

The project lasted for 16 months.
