• July 1st, 2005 r. – signing of the initial cluster creation agreement (4parties)
• November 10th, 2005 r. the signing of agreement of 14 parties on cooperation for the cluster creation
• February 7th, 2006: the awarding of the financing of the Project aiming the cluster creation (75 % of sources for project realisation origins from European Social Fund (ESF)
• May 29th, 2006: the launching of the Cluster during the Conference participated by Andris Piebalgs the EU Commissioner for Energy

Innovative Silesian Cluster of Clean Coal Technology
The formal aim: (Regional) Cluster creation• to identify what predestines the Silesia Region from the point view
of location of the cluster. What activities we are, and what activities we can be strong in? (the main challenge: changing of the image of Silesia Region)• to encourage potential partners for cooperation, even they, in most
cases, compete (the main challenge: increasing the trust among the partners)• to identify the common product(s)• to identify the value chain - competences• to identify added value – profits for partners(the another challenge: forming the future cluster structure)

The practical aim –to the answer where we are, where we can be strong in the scope of Clean Coal Technologies (CCT)
by CCT we understandtechnologies design to enhance technical and economic effectiveness
of coal production, coal preparation and coal utilisation (conversion of energy and coal processing) and to increase the acceptability of all
mentioned processes from the point of view of environment impacts
(the main actions and challenges: • creation of the common R&D programme for the partners and its common realisation – financing from multi - sources• facing up to the outer competitors)
