Institutul European de Inovare și Tehnologie selectează Comunitățile de cunoaștere și inovare în fabricație și mobilitate urbană #EIT
Institutul European de Inovare și Tehnologie (EIT) has announced the winning teams selected to set up EIT Manufacturing and EIT Urban Mobility, two new pan-European Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) bringing together leading organizations from the business, education, research and public sectors.
The mission of EIT Manufacturing is to help the manufacturing sector to become more competitive, sustainable and productive. EIT Urban Mobility will help to ensure a greener, more inclusive, safer and smarter urban mobility system.
Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Commisssioner Tibor Navracsics, responsible for the EIT, welcomed the announcement: "I am very pleased to see two new EIT Knowledge and Innovation Communities selected. The EIT's unique, education-focused approach to boosting innovation will now create even more opportunities for talented entrepreneurs and students across the EU. This is essential for us to find innovative solutions to the pressing challenges of added value manufacturing and urban mobility – and help us build a resilient, competitive Europe.”
The winning teams were selected following an invitation to submit proposals, launched in January 2018, and a thorough evaluation of the proposals by independent experts and the EIT Governing Board. The EIT will provide each of the winning partnerships with a start-up grant of up to €4 million to ensure that they become operational as soon as possible.
The EIT is an independent EU body set up to boost innovation and entrepreneurship across Europe. EIT Manufacturing and EIT Urban Mobility join six existing Knowledge and Innovation Communities in the areas of climate (EIT Climate-KIC), digitisation (EIT Digital), energy (EIT InnoEnergy), health (EIT Health), raw materials (EIT Raw Materials) and food (EIT Food).
A full EIT press release is available on-line. More information on the winning partnerships can be found aici.
