Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS)
The EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (EIT RIS) is the EIT Community’s outreach scheme, introduced in 2014 to make information and expertise from our unique approach available to others. It allows EIT Urban Mobility to share good practice and experiences and to widen participation across Europe.
EIT RIS vision & mission
The RIS program has been designed to help boost the innovation in urban mobility within those countries and regions classified as emerging or moderate innovators according to the European Innovation Scoreboard.
*EIT Urban Mobility has an Innovation Hub in Spain and in Czech Republic. Therefore, no EIT Urban Mobility RIS Hubs will be established in these countries.
EIT Urban Mobility established in 2020 7 RIS Hubs in the countries of Greece, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Serbia and Slovenia. One year later, in 2021, we successfully expanded the RIS coverage with 5 new hubs located in Croatia, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia and Turkiye. The above RIS Hub consortiums provide good scope of the knowledge triangle and excellent networking to the innovation ecosystem and to the local cities in all the countries.
The EIT Urban Mobility RIS program is addressing countries with more than 300 million inhabitants.
Goals
In its mission to eliminate the major barriers preventing emerging or moderate innovators from improving their innovation performance, EIT's RIS program pursues a two-fold assignment:
- Too share good practices and experience emerging from the EIT Community's activities, as well as to expand participation in KIC activities;
- To help disseminate the knowledge and know-how of the EIT Community and widen participation in the KIC's across Europe.
