The European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) has published the
Framework of Guidance for the EIT’s 2014 Call for KICs and the EIT’s Financial Regulation
The EIT spurs innovation and entrepreneurship across the European Union. To further enhance its impact and to incentivize the innovations needed to meet new societal challenges, the EIT will gradually expand its portfolio of Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) from 2014 to 2020.
The first two new KICs, to be established in 2014, will address the thematic fields of:
- Innovation for healthy living and active ageing;
- Raw materials: sustainable exploration, extraction, processing, recycling, and substitution.
