The article is focused on practical and cognitive a pproach to the facilitator activities in the area of cluster internationalization through networ ks. It presents considerations based on the Metalika Metal Cluster case study, results of the li t rature review and desk research. Secondary data in the research process was obtained from the websites of Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP) and selected internati o l networks. The article consists of four integral parts that concisely characterise the principal assumptions of the cluster internationalization through networks, the role and significance of the cluster facilitator activities within cluster development and its inter ationalization in the context of cluster management standards in Poland. Moreover, the artic le presents selected experiences and good practices of Metalika cluster facilitator rela t d to implementation of the network model of internationalization. The studies clearly showed that nowadays a cluster facilitator is both an institution (cluster organisation, coordinator) and a person (cluster manager) working for the cluster development. The services offered by th e facilitator to the cluster members are aimed at strengthening their development, including i ternationalization. This scope of facilitation is especially important for micro, sma ll nd medium enterprises (SMEs) that belong to the cluster. Due to the fact that cluster internationalization is usually a long and complex process of shaping cooperation within inter national space, it requires not only the full involvement, strategic thinking and actions of the facilitator and cluster members, but also the explicit support of external key stakeholders i n turbulent environment.
