The BMEL research cluster is divided into four clusters covering a period of ten years. Within these clusters, there are four main areas each with a time horizon of five years. The clusters are supported by seven cross-sections / horizontal themes. They aim at building structural capacities. The BMEL research cluster has been in force since 2016 and replaces the BMEL framework programme of 2008.
