The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and the innovation, networking and funding opportunities offered to companies

"The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and the opportunities for innovation, networking and funding offered to companies" is an online session where the characteristics and activities of this European organisation, an integral part of the Horizon Europe programme and a unique initiative of the European Union, will be presented.

In addition to learning about the work of the EIT, we will learn about the activity of seven of its Knowledge Innovation Communities (KICs), which promote innovation through transnational collaboration between companies, educational and research centres that generate innovative solutions to solve the global challenges we face as a society.

In addition to listening to representatives of the EIT and its KICs, you will have the opportunity to hold bilateral meetings with the heads of those KICs whose subject matter is of interest to you, by requesting it through the registration form. (session in Spanish).
