InterSHIP is structured in six research clusters, which again are composed by a total of 26 research sub-projects.

While each research cluster is aimed to achieve clear scientific-technological objectives, the clusters are closely interrelated and integrated to achieve common strategic goals.

The achievement of those strategic goals is monitored and facilitated by Horizontal Actions, which are also responsible for the dissemination of results, knowledge and innovation management, horizontal and vertical integration and for the implementation of the results.
