Working Groups

Working Groups are freely established by at least 2 member organizations or partners of the Cluster based on a common interest / project.

Once the objective of the Working Group is achieved, the structure is dissolved or transformed into another one with a new objective.

We recommend that maximum members of a WG to be no more than 5 organizations.

Once a WG is formed, the entity who initiated it will announce the Cluster at the following mail address citicluster@upb.ro, and a specialized WG manager will be allocated by the Cluster. The role of the manager is to moderate and help the members to achieve best possible results in the shortest time possible.

A Working Group may or may not develop into an internal founded research project based on the topic and purpose of it. The internal founded project will be financed, mostly, by private entities involved in it. The budget, activities and experts implied will be established by the members of the working group.

Also, the using of results and the intellectual property rights will be agreed at the working group level.
Any working group may or may not require expertise and resources from the Cluster.

The recommended WG domains are the following
