The DANS cluster connects three projects funded under the Priority 1 - namely Creative City Challenge (CCC), Smart Cities and E-CLIC. These three projects will combine their expertise, contacts and networks and thereby build a base upon which the 'Digital Agenda for Europe' (DAE) can be implemented within the North Sea Region. The project will focus on the link between the local and regional strategies to the DAE, identify implementation barriers and will point at synergies. This will lead to a number of strategic outputs (e.g. an implementation strategy, the 'DANS model', 'Good Practices Guide') and dissemination activities by modern means of communication.
