The KNOWBRIDGE project brings a chance to increase the capacity and strengthen the research potential of two cross border and convergence regions (Košice self-governing region in Slovakia and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén region in Hungary) by supporting the development of new innovative cross border research-driven cluster in the area of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and associating research entities, enterprises and regional authorities.

The KNOWBRIDGE project is focused on the enhancement of research driven cluster in the area of renewable energy sources (RES) in two cross border regions Košice Self-governing Region in Slovakia and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County in Hungary. Specific project objectives are primarily focused on analysis, mentoring, integration of research agendas and definition of Joint Action Plan.
The KNOWBRIDGE project is one of the three agreed initiatives of the cross-border HU-SK region. That implies support of regional authorities, interest of the private companies operating in the RES branch and interest of the research and development institutions, which is a good basis for triple helix concept.
